$79.99 $71.49 price per bottle
The word Triga is an ancient Roman term for a horse chariot team of three, just as Quadriga refers to a team of four, and Biga to a team of two. Today, Triga refers to the three fossilized limestone mountain ranges that surround the vineyards and influence and shape this extraordinary wine: Las Sierras de Salinas, Sierra de la Sima, and la Sierra de Umbria. This southeastern corner of Spain is the historic home of the Monastrell grape variety, which was transplanted around the Mediterranean and its more productive clones, known as mourvedre, became world famous. Technical notes Winemaking: The grapes are sorted meticulously at the winery. All of the vineyards are vinified in separate lots in order to take advantage of the unique characteristics of each site. Maceration and fermentation takes place in 3T-5T open stainless steel fermenters. The wine is pressed sweet in a vertical basket press very slowly over the course of twelve hours. It is transferred to the finest new French oak Burgundy and Bordeaux barrels to finish the primary fermentation and malolactic. - Ageing: 22 months in new French oak Burgundy and Bordeaux barrels. - Bottling: Unfined and unfiltered.
Producer Founded in 2004 by Jorge Ordonez and Rafael Canizares, two of those responsible for the international boom of Spanish wine in the 90’s. When the whole world associated Spanish wines with a small list of Riojas of dubious quality and cheap Jereces, these two visionaries recovered old abandoned vineyards in areas then unknown, such as DO Jumilla. At the same time, Jorge Ordonez reinvented the business of exporting Spanish wines, creating new types of customers and giving the world the potential of our wines. The distinctive seal of the winery is the artisan production of native Spanish varieties from very old, less productive vineyards, but which provide more quality in every way. Currently, Bodegas Volver makes wines under the protection of DO Jumilla, Castilla la Mancha and Alicante.
