"The 2022 30.000 Maravedíes is the entry-level regional red produced with Garnacha from very different parts of San Martín de Valdeiglesias (the three valleys—Alberche, Tiétar and Iruelas). It's a floral, perfumed and elegant effort with nuance and depth that transcends the price point. It only has the disadvantage of the torrid and ripe year that took it to 14.5% alcohol with a pH of 3.42 and 5.23 grams of acidity, good parameters for a ripe Garnacha without excess that still shows the granite effect in its texture, making it long and serious, beyond the fruit. It fermented with indigenous yeasts after macerating with the stems in 3,000- to 4,500-liter French oak vats and matured in oak foudres of different sizes and also concrete vats for 15 months.
