Vinos de Madrid, Castilla-La Mancha, SpainEstablished in 1999, Las Moradas de San Martín was established to recover the centuries-old vineyards of Garnacha that had been cultivated there since the 12th century. Located in the hilltops of Pago de los Castillejos, they benefit from its altitude and granitic / volcanic soils, imbuing a natural freshness and minerality. Winemaker Isabel Galindo farms organically / biodynamically. This is entirely Albillo Real, destemmed and native fermented, with 1/4 MLF, aged 6 months in 300 and 500 L French barrels. The creamy, waxen base is laden with hazelnut, marcona almond, flax, crushed stone, and meadow grass, finely textured along the medium palate, finishing with a raft of mineral salts and ample almond. Lovely energy and verve here.Tasted: 31 August 2022Tasted by: Prices:

Vinos de Madrid, Castilla-La Mancha, SpainLas Moradas de San Martín was founded in 1999 to recover the ancient vineyards of garnacha cultivated since the 12th century on the hilltops of Pago de Los Castillejos, on the edge of the Sierra de Gredos. The vines benefit from the altitude and, even more, critical granitic/volcanic soils that spawn freshness and minerality to this delicious white wine. Winemaker Isabel Galindo farms organically / biodynamically. Albillo Real is berry fermented natively, with one-quarter of the batch going through complete malolactic fermentation before it spends a short six months in 300 and 500 L French barrels. I love this wine awash in lively, savoury meadow grasses and wet stone fruit with an underbelly of chalk and lees. The nose is floral with tangerine undertones that lift the mid-palate creaminess through the almond and orange-streaked finish. There is enough acidity to keep it fresh, which was the perfect fit for our halibut.Tasted: 01 July 2022Tasted by: Prices:
