BODEGA MARAÑONES • ALBILLO REAL • D.O. VINOS DE MADRID
SPAIN • SAN MARTÍN DE VALDEIGLESIAS, SIERRA DE GREDOS • AGED WHITE WINE (DRY)
"The purest, most unctuous and elegant expression of the native Albillo Real grape on the granite soils of the Sierra de Gredos. Marañones 2022 White Wine is an artisanal gem crafted by Bodega Marañones (part of the Alma Carraovejas family) in San Martín de Valdeiglesias. With a dry profile, this single-vineyard white combines rich glyceric texture and body with a vibrant mineral freshness, resulting from its fermentation and aging on lees in French oak vats and foudres."
Granitic Character and Unique Elegance of Albillo Real
The Marañones 2022 White Wine 750 ml is an exceptional white wine with a mountain terroir personality. Coming from small plots of old Albillo Real vines grown under organic viticulture in San Martín de Valdeiglesias, this wine reflects the soul of the granite and sandy soil of the area. After a meticulous cold skin maceration, the must ferments spontaneously with native yeasts in large French oak foudres and vats, then ages on its lees for about 10 to 12 months. Classified as a strictly dry wine, it offers a silky and glyceric palate with notes of stone fruit, white flower, fennel, and a firm mineral backbone.
