The wine

Out of curiosity, we have to report that El Transistor is named after the way in which wild boars are scared off, that roam around the vineyards at night.

Aged for 9 months in large oak casks and barrels.

Wine critics reviewsReviews by Parker

The grapes for the Rueda white 2021 El Transistor were picked one week later than in 2020, the 17th of September, because there was 35 liters of rain the week before, making it the rainiest year of recent times, with a total of 451 liters during the whole season. The juice from the whole clusters fermented in barrels, foudres, concrete and stainless steel vats, where it matured for six to seven months. It has always been produced with grapes from the same vineyard on very stony soils. In 2021, it has 13% alcohol and a pH of 3.37. It's clean, fresh, medium-bodied and tasty, varietal and with the textbook bitter twist in the finish. A Rueda like they were in the past. 14,011 bottles were filled in May 2022.
