General Information
Traslanzas, located in the heart of the D.O. Cigales, has crafted Tres Cuestas Edición Especial 2022 exclusively for Vinoselección from a single vineyard over 40 years old.
The Tres Cuestas estate (in Mucientes, at 780 meters above sea level) is a single-plot vineyard that sits on fine-grained, reddish-brown clay soils, which retain water and provide structure and character to the wine. The combination of altitude, soil, and winemaking tradition results in a red wine with a unique identity, where elegance and the expression of the terroir are clearly evident.
Tres Cuestas Edición Especial 2022 is a single-varietal Tempranillo, produced through traditional winemaking with 14 days of maceration and malolactic fermentation in tanks. The wine is then aged for 9 months in barrels, followed by at least 12 months of bottle aging.
This wine is designed for those who appreciate reds with character, authenticity, and balance, without sacrificing freshness and approachability. Ideal to pair with mussels in marinara sauce or goat cheese and marmalade toasts, Tres Cuestas Edición Especial 2022 is a testament to how tradition and respect for the vineyard can result in wines with soul. A red wine that invites you to explore the richness of Cigales beyond its rosé.
