Wines To Find, Ep 189: From Vineyard to Winemaking With Traslanzas's Husband and Wife Team

Imagine strolling through lush vineyards, basking in the Spanish sun, and tasting some of the most exquisite wines in the world. That's precisely the charming experience we had on our recent journey to Cigales, Spain, where we visited Traslanzas owned by the husband and wife team of Carlos and Maria. Carlos handles the vineyard, while Maria makes the wine  in a lovely combination of both their skills.We dined with them, explored their vineyards, and savored the delightful flavors of their wines. Especially intriguing were Maria's insights on the two types of rosés they produce - the deep-toned classic rosé and the lighter Provençal rosé. Their wine journey started in 1998 with red wines, later branching out to the classic rosé composed of an 80% Tempranillo and 20% Albillo blend.We also ventured into an  exploration of the secrets behind their vineyards and the traditional winemaking process they adhere to which culminates in the distinctive flavor profiles of their wines. One of the highlights was discussing the Traslanzas red wine, purely crafted from Tempranillo harvested from a 78-year-old vineyard, manually picked and aged in oak. It truly was a fascinating deep dive into Spanish wine culture and a sensory journey we cannot wait to share with you, so pour yourself a glass and join us today!Stay in the know and join our WTF Cru.About UsBuy us a Mimosa!We have been listed in the Top 50 wine podcasts! https://blog.feedspot.com/wine_podcasts/Music from https://filmmusic.io "Night In Venice" by Kevin MacLeod (https://incompetech.com) License: CC BY (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/) Thank you for making us part of your wine story.
