Spec sheet
The wine
This is the bodega's most modern wine. Expressive, powerful and showing plenty of muscle, combined with wonderful blending and an extremely long length, Trasnocho comes over as a most attractive, very fine wine.
Matured for 21 months in oak barrels.
NOTE: This wine will reach its prime in a few years time. For enjoying it now, decanting would be advisable a few hours before serving.

The winery
Bodegas Fernando Remírez de Ganuza
Located in Samaniego, in the heart of the Rioja Alavesa, there exists what we could call the region's authentic “signature” winery. Thanks to the intelligent, keen-eyed work of Fernando Remírez de Ganuza, this wine conveys his singular approach and methodology, as well as its own individual character and distinguishing features.“New Rioja” would mean simply nothing without this great innovator and his now much-revered winery.
