This is the first wine from Las Moradas de San Martín with no sulphur dioxide (SO2) added in any of the processes.

This is possible because of the excellent growing conditions on the estate, the climate, the low pH of our Garnacha grapes and the quality of their polyphenols, together with careful production and aseptic conditions.

Picota cherry red colour of medium intensity. Pleasant aromas characteristic of the Garnacha variety on the nose; plums, liquorice and aromatic plants such as fennel. Powerful on the palate with excellent acidity. Mouthfilling fruit and a hint of dark chocolate give way to a lingering mineral finish.

Varieties: Pure Garnacha in its terroir.

Winemaking: After destemming and maceration, fermentation with the grapes’ own yeasts. Malolactic fermentation in the barrel with no added bacteria. Aged for 14 months in 500- and 225-litre lightly toasted French oak barrels, both new and with other uses. Afterwards, the coupage is made and blended for several months in a tank. It is bottled without clarifying, filtering or adding sulphites.

Bottling date: December 2013

Serving temperature: 16 ºC

Tasting note: Picota cherry red, medium bodied. Aromas typical of the Garnacha variety in our wines, such as plums and aromatic plants like fennel and liquorice. In the mouth, it is powerful and full, with flavours of fruit and bitter chocolate. It is strongly mineral, finishing with excellent acidity.

Other information of interest: The winery is at an altitude of 870 m on the edge of the Gredos range of hills in the unique landscape of San Martín de Valdeiglesias in the southeast of the Madrid region. Around it are 21 ha of dry-cultivated old Garnacha vineyards on a soil of fine granite gravel, with low grape yield and a tough climate.

The producer tries to encapsulate the essence of Garnacha from these terroirs in the wine obtained as naturally and respectfully as possible.
