An unpronounceable name, but an extraordinarily wonderful wine. This is a special project by the winemaker of top Ribera del Duero estate, Pago de Carraovejas, to revive some tiny, old vineyards, which are the very highest in the region - at 1,076 metres elevation (1,076 is the meaning of the name Milsetentayseis). Thanks to the altitude and vine age (up to nearly a century old), the wine has fabulous fruit concentration and freshness, and an amazing, super-silky texture, all of which arise from the intensely sunny days yet decidedly chilly nights through the growing season. Its beautiful balance suggests that it could be cellared for several years, however its fabulous silkiness means that there is nothing to stop you tucking in straight away!

Winemaking
Made from old vines planted nearly 100 years ago in Fuentenebro, and from new plantings that will be allowed to grow into old vines. Milsetentayseis Tinto 2018 is a wine that has been meticulously produced from individual plots. Fermented in concrete, oak and stainless steel depending on the characteristics of the grape and the soil where it was grown, its production is defined by the team´s constant vigilance throughout the process and their in-depth knowledge of the region, the soil and the native varieties that thrive there. Aged 18 months in French oak barrels of various sizes, according to the needs of each plot.
