Bodega Maranones 30.000 Maravedies 2023

The entry-level red is the 2023 30.000 Maravedíes, a regional red produced with Garnacha from very different parts of San Martín de Valdeiglesias. It's a village wine from the lower altitude vineyards, some in the estate and some others in the valley floor. They work a lot in the vineyards to protect the grapes from the sun to achieve a more balanced ripeness. It fermented with 100% full clusters in stainless steel and oak vats by plot with a maceration of around 15 days, finishing fermenting without skins in barrels and foudres, where the wine matured. It's the palest of the reds, a delicate and perfumed light red, silky and ethereal with a very fine texture, sandy rather than granitic. It comes in at 14% alcohol and with very good balance.
