Gran Vino de Martúe 2018

TASTING:

Intense cherry red color, with purple reflections that announce its still youth and good conservation.
It takes time to open, shake the glass and wait without rushing. Raspberry, fennel and shortbread. She continues to open up. Toasted bread, new barrel.
Fine and elegant at the entrance, it becomes large in the center of the mouth. Fruit, wood, earth. It reaches the end of the mouth, where its powerful structure is noticeable, with tannins yet to be completely polished.

PREPARATION AND AGEING:

Our first Gran Vino de Martúe is a selection of the best red wine barrels from the 2018 vintage. Only 10 selected barrels of Malbec, Petit Verddot and Malbec with a total of 22 months of barrel aging, with a production of less than 3,000 kilos per hectare, each variety has been produced separately seeking the maximum expression of the terroir of our Pago grapes.

The manual harvest of the grapes was carried out in the last week of September 2018, at their optimal ripening point, in small boxes so that the grapes arrived in perfect condition at the winery.

CURIOSITIES:

Martúe is a family winery that was born in La Guardia de Toledo and whose first harvest is labeled with the name Martúe 2001. In 2009, Martúe obtained the qualification of Pago Campo de La Guardia, one of the 19 estates in Spain with this prestigious qualification. Its arrival at Blanco Nieva (a legendary Segovian winery) was a boost for these white wines from the Rueda Denomination of Origin, maintaining the Martúe philosophy: small productions of top quality wines at the best price.
