The White Wine Peña Cruzada is an oenological jewel born from an exceptional plot located between San Martín de Valdeiglesias and the Marañones estate, on the limits of the Sierra de Gredos. Its 0.7 hectares of old Albillo Real vines, cultivated in unique pink granite soil, give this wine an unmistakable character. The Peña Cruzada plot is surrounded by forests and exceptional biodiversity, creating a perfect balance between the vineyard and its environment. The vines, over 50 years old, benefit from a gentle slope and a creeping growth habit that defines their identity. The pink granite soils, stony and with sandy textures, facilitate organic and respectful viticulture, highlighting the commitment to the environment throughout the project. The 2022 vintage was marked by challenging weather. After a rainy winter, spring was dry and hot, causing a delay in vine budbreak until late April. Summer was characterized by several heat waves that, although they slowed growth in young plants, allowed for rapid and homogeneous ripening.

The harvest of this plot took place on August 4th, ensuring perfect sanitary condition of the grapes.

Manual harvest in 12-kilogram boxes preserved the quality of the clusters. After gentle pressing, the must fermented in used barrels of 228 and 600 liters, where the wine aged for 10 months on its lees. This process provides unique texture and aromatic complexity to the wine. To guarantee its purity, low levels of sulfites were used in its production. Peña Cruzada reflects the essence of pink granite in every sip, with a floral and mineral expression that highlights its origin.

On the palate, it stands out for its balance, freshness and a long, elegant finish that reflects the harmony between the Albillo Real variety, the climate and the terroir of this unique plot. Peña Cruzada is the ultimate expression of an exceptional vineyard and the artisanal care that defines the wines of San Martín de Valdeiglesias.

Ideal for those seeking a white wine that combines tradition, elegance and authenticity.
