MARAÑONES WHITE WINE 2022 750 ML
BODEGA MARAÑONES — ALBILLO REAL
SPAIN • SAN MARTÍN DE VALDEIGLESIAS, SIERRA DE GREDOS
"The purest, creamiest, and most elegant expression of the indigenous Albillo Real grape grown in the granitic soils of the Sierra de Gredos. Marañones White Wine 2022 is an artisanal jewel crafted by Bodega Marañones (part of the Alma Carraovejas family) in San Martín de Valdeiglesias. With a dry profile, this single-vineyard white combines great glyceric richness and body with a vibrant mineral freshness, the result of its fermentation and aging on lees in French oak vats and foudres."
