El Transistor May 2010 From the Rueda region where Basa is produced, there comes a completely new wine from Compañía de Vinos: El Transistor. Having worked in the region developing Basa since 1996, we felt the need to go deeper and invest more energy there. This entailed making a sincere gesture to Rueda and giving back to it a tradition it had lost. To recover a sense of the region’s ancestral viticulture, months were spent searching for original vineyards. Eventually original bush vine were found. A subtle fermentation technique was used to ensure it was the region rather than the technique that was expressed through the traditional Spanish varietal, verdejo, which El Transistor is 100% constituted from. The result is a truly authentic wine of great complexity. Why the name El Transistor? At night, our vines in the region are often plagued by Wild Boar. To gently ward them off, we placed a radio in the vineyard. | |
