Product Description
Details
A varietal Grenache from the world-famous Sierra de Gredos wine producing region, the red wine Marañones takes the name from the area where the vineyards are located, characterized by an abundance of sloe bushes ("Arañones" in Spanish).
This varietal Spanish red wine with DO Vinos de Madrid is made from 50 to 70-year-old bushvines grown in granitic soils.
North-oriented and organically farmed, the vineyards are at altitudes between 750 and 850 metres above sea level.
After the harvest, the whole bunches of grapes were cold-macerated and fermented with indigenous yeasts in 33-hectoliter French oak vats. Malolactic fermentation took place in 500-litre used French oak barrels. Finally, Marañones 2019 was aged in the barrels for 12 months.
This wine of Bodega Marañones was not filtered, stabilized or clarified prior to bottling.
Decant this Crianza red wine 1 hour before drinking.
Additional Information
Additional Information
| Appearance | The red wine Marañones is medium ruby with a maroon rim. |
|---|---|
| Nose | This varietal Grenache is pure, expressive and fresh. Raspberries and redcurrants, with a crisp mineral note, a hint of bitter herbs and red flowers, and a spicy and forest-floor suggestion. |
| Palate | Tense and fresh, this wine from Bodega Marañones has an excellent definition and an incipient complexity. Crisp acidity, with some slightly rugged tannins. Palate is very rich, with remembrances of rosy pepper, smoke, underbush, red flowers and red berries. Long, complex finish. |
| Our personal opinion | A serious wine, Marañones 2019 deserves some serious attention. This Garnacha de Gredos will greatly benefit, though, from some ageing in your home cellar. |

A very subtle and nuanced wine this is. You keep discovering new things as you go along.

No wonder that Gredos has become the talk of the town. This is only the entry level wine of the company, but it is excellent. Fennel, dim mineral notes, little red berries. Everything is subtle, nothing is shouted.
