El Manifiesto de Valtravieso, unlimited experimental series. A unique work that arises from wanting to investigate, experiment and create exclusive wines with which to enjoy new aromas and flavours.
It is a way of understanding wine. It is to look back to our ancestor’s knowledge to make innovative wines. To travel to other hemispheres in spring and then come back home in autumn. It is valuing one’s own and understanding what is foreign. A project that will bring to the market a series of innovative and very special wines for lover of curiosities.

A wine with remarkable freshness that we elaborate with care and let it rest for a long time in barrels.
It is the second wine created by our winemaker and technical director, Ricardo Velasco, as part of the range of experimental wines that we elaborate from micro vinifications of unusual and minority combinations.
El Manifiesto 02 It is a tribute to ancestral grapes. “It is a vinification of a old vineyard in which there were other varieties, including many Grenache,” he explains Ricardo Velasco. The result is an explosion of red fruits, A vibrant wine of a varietal nature elaborated with the minimum intervention and from varieties autochthonous of small plots recovered in the Ribera del Duero and harvested by hand.

The result: one more step in our commitment to experimentation and redefinition of the limits of wine creativity. Everything, to be able to enjoy new aromas and flavors.
The first wine of The Valtravieso Manifesto project is an Albillo Mayor fermented with whole bunches in open vats where grapes are crushed once a day following the port winemaking technique. Fermentation starts on the skins and after a few days it is transferred to a 300L Stockinger white barrel for aging for about 14 months. The grapes used to elaborate this wine come from Valtravieso’s own vineyards at an altitude of 915 meters above sea level.
It is a complex, elegant and extravagant wine with notes of dried flowers and oxidation. The mouthfeel is fresh, unctuous, and creamy thanks to the intensity of dried fruit flavours, such as apricots and sultanas. The finish is saline and refreshing.
Only 387 bottles are produced, which gives this albillo more personality if possible.
