Shop Marañones Wines1. The Organic and Artisanal Essence of Marañones
Located in San Martín de Valdeiglesias, at the confluence of the Sierra de Gredos (D.O. Vinos de Madrid), Bodegas Marañones has established itself as a leading project in the rescue and exaltation of mountain wine heritage. Practicing rigorous organic agriculture respectful of the ecosystem, the winery works unique plots of altered granitic soils at altitudes exceeding 800 meters above sea level.
The secret behind Marañones' distinction lies in the unique microclimate of the northern slope of the Sierra de Gredos. Here, the marked diurnal thermal oscillation allows the centenary vines to achieve perfect phenolic ripeness without losing the vibrant acidity that characterizes high-altitude wines. The granitic sand and quartz soils provide a unique structural lightness, far from the heavy red wines of the central peninsula.
Through fermentation with indigenous yeasts, the use of whole clusters during maceration, and respectful aging in used large-volume wooden vats and foudres, its creators manage to extract the true typicity of the centenary Garnacha Tinta and Albillo Real vines. At lacava.shop we offer you these gems of heroic viticulture, characterized by admirable fluidity, tannic elegance, and a marked saline minerality. Enjoy them directly at home with the benefit of free shipping on purchases from $1,499.
