The wine

Tragaldabas is a very interesting wine, which successfully combines rusticity and finesse; briefly, it is a fusion of earthiness and rose fragrance; it has been a surprise and a pleasure to make its acquaintance. This is the project of four friends, passionate about the world of wine, who discovered a magical location in the Las Batuecas Natural Park, in the Sierra de Francia, with diversity of altitudes, soils and orientations, and an extraordinary heritage of old vines; it was there that they decided to start producing their wine, a wine which they were profiling as light, flavoursome and aromatic. They managed it, and magnificently!

On pouring it into a glass, you'll notice its ruby colour, with rosy hues, of medium or even medium-low density. On the nose, it is refined, feminine and reveals some very spicy notes, scintillating; unusual and most attractive. Open the bottle half an hour beforehand, and it will give you overwhelmingly fruit-driven aromas of strawberries, raspberries, fresh berry fruits and ripe cherries, on a background of pungent spices, as we noticed, and balsamic hints with a medicinal waft, effervescent; with time in the glass it settles down and gives way to notes of undergrowth, damp earth, always enveloped by a penetrating sweet floral fragrance of roses and violets.

On the palate that vibrant, effervescent sensation reappears, a tart acidity which imbues it with a rustic feel but which doesn't mask the overall elegance: fruit-forward, floral, with woodland undertones of juniper berries and earthiness. It is structured, medium-bodied, with some marked but mature tannins and a subtle almost imperceptible bitterness which confirms that balance between rusticity and finesse. Very well defined in all aspects, colour, nose and palate, a wine with lots of personality, direct, light and fluid, very easy to drink, complete and long. Tragaldabas — ideal for getting to know the Rufete variety, the Sierra de Francia and discovering a new horizon.

Wine critics reviewsReviews by Parker

The last vintage here is the excellent 2017 Tragaldabas, a ruby colored, perfumed and floral red produced from Rufete grapes in the Sierra de Francia in Salamanca. It's a delicate and refreshing wine with a medium body, 13.5% alcohol, very good freshness and acidity and high drinkability. It's light but not banal; it has depth and complexity and right now feels perfect for current consumption. Enjoy it chilled for a better experience. It's easy to finish a bottle between two people. This is now transferred to the Viñas Serranas project that continues producing delicious wines from this obscure zone and grape of continental Spain.
