Vinos de Madrid, Castilla-La Mancha, SpainLas Moradas de San Martin sits at nearly 900 metres above sea level, on the fringes of the Sierra de Gredos, southeast of Madrid. This is an exceptional red wine full of dark plum and intense strawberry streaked with a line of high desert scrub. Fresh and bright, this has a modicum of tannin that will disperse over the next three to five years. There is delicious complexity in this mountain red. Only twenty-one hectares of vineyards surround the winery, but what vines they are. Initio comes from old bush vine garnacha, some as aged as 100+ years old, high and organically dry farmed in granitic sandy soils. Seven days of cold maceration precede a native ferment over three weeks, prior to 14 months in French oak barrels. The final blend is bottled without fining or filtration.Tasted: 28 January 2023Tasted by: Prices:

Vinos de Madrid, Castilla-La Mancha, SpainLas Moradas de San Martin sits at a height of 870m above sea level, on the fringes of the Sierra de Gredos, in the unique landscape of San MartÃn de Valdeiglesias to the south-east of Madrid. Twenty-one hectares of vineyards surround the winery. From old vine (some over 100 years), high altitude garnacha located at 900m in the windy Madrilenian slope, these organically dry farmed bush vines are rooted in the estate's granitic sandy soils. Winemaker Isabel Galindo is very hands-off in the winery, respecting the vines and farming. After a week of cooler maceration, this was native fermented over three weeks prior to heading to French barrels for an average of 14 months prior to the final blend. This was then bottled without fining or filtration. Sultry perfumed dark plum, wild black cherry, ferrous notes, thorns, scrubby herbs flood the fuller palate, held fresh and taut with altitude and soils. The finish lingers long with salinity and pink pepper. So much freshness and complexity in this mountainous red.Tasted: 31 August 2022Tasted by: Prices:
