WINE DESCRIPTION

Bodega Marañones, situated in the San Martín de Valdeiglesias sub-region of Madrid DO, showcases the unique terroir of the Sierra de Gredos foothills. Labros, a single-vineyard Garnacha, highlights the potential of the region's poor, sandy, granitic soils and high elevations. Grown organically on a 70-year-old parcel at 600 meters above sea level, the vines thrive on stony, decomposed granite and sandy riverbank soils. Labros is the most richly fruited and Mediterranean expression in the Marañones collection, yet retains the freshness and high-toned elegance characteristic of Gredos Garnachas, delivering a harmonious balance of depth, vibrancy, and terroir-driven complexity.
