Bodega Maranones Garnacha 30000 Maravedies Vinos De Madrid 2017 750 ML

Bright red to the eye, this wine has aromas of black currant, eucalyptus and lavender. It offers a nice sense of cooling spice in the mouth, with eucalyptus and anisette alongside pomegranate and strawberry flavors. Fleecy tannins and an earthy note of black truffle drift into the finish. \n \n Producer Information \n Bodega Marañones' landscape spans from the top of the Sierra de Gredos mountain range to the valley's foothills. The combination of geology, climate, and soils provides conditions ideal for vine cultivation. The high altitude, old vines, local varieties, and fractured granite soils lend to the diverse characteristics of the individual plots. Bodega Marañones practices biodynamic agriculture and organic principles as part of their winemaking philosophy. Vineyards reside mainly on the north side, which, given the slope of the plots, facilitates optimal sun exposure. The mountain ranges protect the vineyards from the cold winds and frosts of the north and allow for better ventilation. Gentle and constant wind flow, influenced by the Mediterranean climate, allows a natural aerial "cleaning" of the vines, making them less susceptible to fungal diseases. ​ The natural disintegration of granite is the basis of the vineyards of Marañones. The composition of the soil is characterized by its acidity levels of silica and low organic matter, which provide a high mineral expression to the grape.
