GARNACHA TINTA
30.000 MARAVEDÍES 2022
30.000 Maravedíes 2022 is a village wine that shows the unique conditions of San Martín de Valdeiglesias. In the foothills of Gredos, between the elevations marked by the valleys of the Alberche River, the Iruelas Valley and the Alto Tiétar Valley, the vines retain a unique mesoclimatic and edaphological profile: between 650 and 850 meters above sea level, mountain rainfall and the mark of granite in sandy texture. 30,000 maravedíes is elaborated entirely from Garnacha, which seeks to faithfully represent the reality of San Martín de Valdeiglesias.
Freshness. The fruitiest and most delicate character of the Grenache born in Gredos. Reflection in bottle of the richness and diversity of its soils, orientations and vineyards. Expression of the viticultural history of San Martín de Valdeiglesias.
An extreme climatic year
The last months of 2021 were rainy with mild temperatures. 2022 started the same way; no extreme cold days, but no rain. The vines began to cry at the end of March due to the high temperatures of the season, but the vines did not begin to bud until the end of April due to low spring rainfall. May was a particularly atypical month due to the high temperatures recorded. Flowering was widespread in mid-June in a rapid way and with a correct fruit set. The summer was extremely dry and hot with several heat waves that caused occasional vegetative stoppages in the youngest plants. These characteristics of the cycle allowed the vines to remain in perfect health, with rapid ripening in August. Harvest began on September 1 and lasted until September 29.
The history of San Martín
San Martín de Valdeiglesias is and has been mainly a wine-growing municipality. Its orography is defined by four valleys: mainly surrounded by the Alberche river, its altitude stands out over the valley of the Iruelas and the valley of the upper Tiétar. Grenache vines have flooded the landscape of the Gredos mountain range for centuries. Unique viticultural conditions facilitate optimal development and balance in the vineyard: granitic hercynian rocks, adamelites with megacrystals and torrallitic microaggregates. Its mountain rainfall and Mediterranean temperatures together with its altitude of between 650 and 850 mark this unique environment. The name of the wine is reminiscent of local history: 30,000 maravedíes is the amount paid by Álvaro de Luna for the purchase of the Señorío de San Martín.
Village wine
30,000 Maravedíes is the result of blending the character of the San Martín Garnacha. During the harvest, the bunches were picked by hand in 12 kg boxes. The selected grapes arrived at the winery whole and were macerated with their own stems. Fermentation took place in French oak vats of 3,000 to 4,500 liters and in stainless steel tanks, making pigeage. It was aged for 15 months on its own lees in foudres and French oak and concrete vats of between 1,000 and 5,000 liters. For greater protection, the wine contains sulfites. It was bottled in the spring of 2024.
