Description
Bodega Marañones has the potential to express and create unforgettable wines, bringing the terroir of Sierra de Gredos into liquid form. Wines that offer a different view of Spanish wine culture. Wines often come from postage stamp plots such as in Burgundy and Priorat De Marañones is named after the location Marañones. It is part of the mountain at 800 m altitude, oriented to the north. We find the three types of San Martin granite: white granite, brown and pink. Each vineyard in Marañones has a different soil. Some are on a hill. Others are more towards the highlands. Bodega Marañones has been part of the Pago de Carraovejas group for several years, known for the top wines of the same name from the Ribera del Duero, but Ossian and Vina Mein also belong to this group. The aim is to add a top house from the most beautiful wine regions of Spain and to apply the same very high quality standards with which they already belong to the Premier League. In addition to Ribera del Duero, Rueda and Galicia, this house comes from the mountains of the Sierra de Gredos.
30,000 Maravedíes was the price Don Álvaro de Luna paid to the monk of Santa María Monastery to obtain 'Señorío de San Martín de Valdeiglesias'. The Marañones 30,000 Maravedíes is a wine that aims to show the character of San Martín de Valdeiglesias, using grapes from six different small plots of old vines, mostly Garnacha but with about 10% consisting of other local varieties (mostly Morate) planted among pines, stone trees, olive trees and almond trees. The vineyards are located on a soil of weathered granite soil, poor in organic matter, located at an altitude of 650/800 m. The vineyard is between 30-70 years old and is managed organically. The yield is only around 3,500-4,000 Kg/ha (approximately 1/3 of a normal yield). Fermentation takes place in 3,000 and 4,500 wooden barrels using indigenous yeast. The wine is aged in 300L and 500L used French oak barrels for 8-10 months. The aging takes place on the lees. It is juicy and has good structure and tension, this is not an average or everyone's friend. It has depth in a style reminiscent of a fine Morgon, along with some of the floral qualities of a Northern Rhône - juicy and fleshy but also a bit earthy, with red berries, flowers and wild herbs. It has a medium-bodied taste with granite texture, a chalky dry sensation and a salty finish. It's serious, with aging potential.
