Red Wine 30.000 Maravedíes 2020
Availability: In stock
This is the new vintage of 30.000 Maravedíes, produced by Bodega Marañones in world-famous Sierra de Gredos.
This wine is a blend of 90% Grenache grapes, coming from 30 to 70-year-old vines grown in granite soils, and a 10% mixture of Morenillo and other indigenous varieties.
Harvested by hand, the grapes were partially destemmed, cold-soaked, and fermented in 3,000 and 4,500-litre vats.
After that, this Crianza red wine from DO Vinos de Madrid underwent malolactic fermentation and was aged for a period of 8 months in new and used French oak barrels, as well as in 45-hectolitre vats.
Finally, 30.000 Maravedíes 2020 was aged for a further two months prior to its commercial release.
Aerate this delicate Garnacha de Gredos some time before drinking.
Appearance | The red wine 30.000 Maravedíes is medium ruby with a garnet rim. |
---|---|
Nose | Elegant aromatic profile, neither Atlantic nor Mediterranean. This blend of Grenache and Morenillo suggests ripe berries, underbrush, spices and balsam, nicely combined with remembrances of red flowers, some dim mineral tips and a touch of smoke and toast. |
Palate | Though this red wine from Bodega Marañones wine is still young, it already displays an extremely gentle character. Flavours of wild berries, menthol and aromatic herbs. Mild tannins and a long, delicate finish. |
Our personal opinion | Pleasant and subtle, 30.000 Maravedíes 2020 shows that the hype around the Gredos area is justified. |
