Marañones Garnacha 2022
A varietal Grenache from the world-famous Sierra de Gredos wine region, the wine Marañones Garnacha takes its name from the area where the vineyards are located, characterized by an abundance of sloe bushes ("Arañones" in Spanish).
The wine is produced by Bodega Marañones, which in 2021 was acquired by the family holding Alma Carraovejas, the owner of famed bodega Pago de Carraovejas.
This varietal Spanish red wine from DO Vinos de Madrid is sourced from several plots with granitic soils planted with 50 to 70-year-old vines.
North-oriented and organically farmed, the vineyards are at 800+ metres above sea level.
After the harvest, the whole bunches of grapes were cold-macerated. This red wine from DO Vinos de Madrid was fermented with indigenous yeasts in French oak vats and stainless steel tanks.
The red wine Marañones Garnacha 2022 was aged in wooden vats and concrete diposits for 15 months. This Garnacha de Gredos was not filtered, stabilized or clarified prior to being bottled in the spring of 2024.
