Description
Next to the winery, on the other bank of the river, in the Pesquera mountains, we find its vineyards planted on more limestone soils. The priority at Tr3smano is to produce only high quality grapes, with optimum ripeness. For this reason, it is essential to apply control over all the processes, from winter pruning to the decision on when to harvest. Only in this way can the quality levels necessary to obtain unique wines be achieved.
Data sheet:
Cellar: Tr3smano
DOC Douro

Grade: 14,5% vol.
Tasting note:
On the nose: High aromatic concentration, mainly citrus and orange blossom.
On the palate: it is fresh and unctuous with very good acidity.
Operating temperature: between 5 and 7º C
Geology and Soil:
The vineyards are located on the Alijó plateau, at an altitude of 600 meters, already in Portugal, surrounding the Douro River (Douro)
It is characterized by having slate soils.
Crafting
Following the course of the Douro River, we reach the Alijó-Alto Douro plateau, where the Silva Reis family (Real Companhia Velha EST. 1756) planted their Alvarinho vineyards at 600 m on slate soils. Partially made in barrels and aged on its lees for 6 months until bottling.
Pairing
En Made in Spain Gourmet We recommend that it pairs perfectly with fish and shellfish, and even creamy cheeses such as Alma de Calaveruela. Also with healthy salads such as the De la Cueva ecological Alacahofas salad.
Where time does not exist and only good work matters
Tr3smano is nourished by large vineyards located in three of the best wine-growing sub-areas of the Ribera del Duero located on the Golden Mile, in Valladolid. Between them they have a total area of about 55 hectares of vineyards, although all of them have very low production.
All the vineyards are planted exclusively with Tempranillo or Tinta del país – Fine ink, most of them cultivated in a goblet formation system and with a planting density between 3,000 and 4,000 feet per hectare.
The works are carried out completely manually with the utmost care possible to respect the quality of the grapes.
The winery is surrounded by a first 50-year-old vineyard: La Viña del Lagar. This, together with the Rábano, is cultivated on very poor loamy-sandy soils.
Concept and architecture
The project strategy was based on taking advantage of the unevenness of the plot to partially bury the building: to the north, the five grape harvest doors connect the field with the production room and act as points for pouring grapes by gravity, as was done in the past. .
The use of gravity favors both the quality of the final product and energy optimization.
Light is the other essential element in this project: light to a greater or lesser extent on mass and space. Thus, in the maturation room where the barrels sleep, buried in silence, the entry of light is minimal and indirect, as opposed to the production room, bathed in light.
In this architecture, the chosen material, concrete — or cement — in situ, represents the total material, which provides continuity to the earth from the earth, acting at the same time as a thermal insulator, which allows reducing the use of air conditioning and Forced ventilation.
On the other hand, solar incidence is controlled by a system of horizontal aluminum sheets along the curtain wall.
In this way, the ergonomics of the winery with its two elongated faces presents functional advantages with good light conditions, natural ventilation, maximum thermal insulation — in production, aging and maturation rooms — and connection between its interior spaces.
Essence of its origin
And all this while building a winery capable of combining the new techniques of modern oenology with the greatest respect for tradition. The dream was taking shape thanks to the conversations that, around a good glass of wine, the protagonists of this beautiful project were sharing.
