The Traslanzas project was founded in 1998 when oenologist Ana Martín joined forces with Javier Labás. Their mission was to prove to the world that the Cigales region near Valladolid is not merely a place for "cheap rosés", but that extremely old Tempranillo vines can produce a complex, gastronomic rosé wine capable of standing alongside the best wines of Provence, while carrying a far more distinctive character and Spanish passion. Every sip of Traslanzas is a tribute to patience and to old vineyards that have survived for generations.
Rosado 2025 represents the winery's fresh and modern approach to a traditional region. It uses the potential of Tempranillo to create elegant rosé wines that gain a delicate color and fruit-driven character through short maceration. The winery's philosophy is based on respect for terroir, careful work in the vineyard and minimal intervention during vinification, so the wine reflects its origin as faithfully as possible.
