Lagar de Proventus Alvarinho 2023 puts a twist on the classic Albariño style. The Silva Reis family, in their vineyards planted on slate soils on the Alijó plateau (Alto Douro), at 600 meters altitude, achieves an 'alvarinho' with great aromatic intensity, volume, and complexity. It stands out from the typical acidity and salinity of the variety, presenting itself as unctuous, rich, and balanced, thanks to its production completed with 6 months of aging on fine lees. A true discovery.

Lagar de Proventus Alvarinho has a slightly golden color that denotes concentration.
A rich white wine, with a high concentration of citrus notes and orange blossom.
On the palate, it is fresh, full-bodied, and unctuous. Broad and distinguished, with a crisp acidity and a savory minerality.
Our Lagar de Proventus Alvarinho has a style and personality different from Rías Baixas, with less acidity and salinity, much more wine, more body, thanks to its 6 months of aging on fine lees. The balance of the aging with the freshness of the albariño variety and the minerality of the slate soil and altitude is surprising.
As its name suggests, Tr3smano is a winery located in the so-called “Golden Mile” of Ribera del Duero, born from the association of three great professionals of the wine scene: José Ramón Ruiz, general director of La Europea, a leading company in the import and distribution of wines in Mexico; Fernando Remírez de Ganuza, one of Spain's most important winemakers; and the prestigious enologist Pedro Aibar, a driving force behind the D.O. Somontano and a key figure in the success of renowned wineries such as Viñas del Vero, Blecua, El Coto, or his family winery Pagos del Moncayo.
With the aim of finding old vineyards to produce an exceptional red wine from their fruit, the joint venture began its journey in 2013 in Peñafiel, “a trasmano” (off the beaten path) from the road connecting this town with its neighbor Quintanilla de Onésimo. The winery's facilities, a building integrated into the landscape and designed by the architectural studio Konkrit Blu, are located near the famous Vaccaei archaeological site of Pintia, where, additionally, there is an ancient winepress used traditionally for grape treading on this estate as early as the 18th century.
Tr3smano has 25 hectares of its own vineyards, with very low yields and planted with tempranillo, as well as 35 more hectares of controlled vineyards. All work is done manually, with the utmost care to preserve the quality of the grapes. In the winery, the brand advocates for a wise combination of tradition and a personal interpretation of new enology techniques, with no fixed rules, both in terms of winemaking and aging, guided solely by the characteristics of each vintage and the potential of the grapes. The result is unique wines, marked by excellence, where fruit, wood, and time merge in perfect balance.
