Marañones 'Marañones' Garnacha 2020 | Madrid, Spain

Rich and expressive old vine Grenache from a single vineyard just outside of San Martín de Valdeiglesias in Madrid, Spain.

Fleshy dark fruits, juicy cherries and ripe berries, blackthorn, oak spices, and a mineral core of granite and quartz.

Dry and full bodied on the palate, textural silkiness, fine lines of mineral acidity, brooding yet gentle tannins. It's expressive, full of depth and elegance. Long and minerally clean on the finish.

Region: San Martín de Valdeiglesias - Madrid, Spain

Grapes: Garnacha (Grenache)

ABOUT THE PRODUCER

Bodega Marañones is located in San Martín de Valdeiglesias, a sub-region of the Madrid DO. Old vines, high elevations and poor, sandy, granitic soils are typical here. With excellent soil pH, hot days and cool nights, the foothills of the Sierra de Gredos mountains are a prime place for a vineyard.

The young producer behind the Marañones label, Fernando García, is one of a stable of natural winemakers who have been heavily influenced by the biodynamic wines of the Loire and Burgundy.
