Méntrida

In the sandy high-altitude vineyards southwest of Madrid, at the foot of the Sierra de Gredos, Garnacha achieves an almost cool, mineral brilliance. The terroir of Méntrida is defined by weathered granite, which lends the wines a finely chiselled structure that extends far beyond the sheer power of the sun. Producers such as Jimenez-Landi capture this elegance and demonstrate that here, alongside the flagship red variety, white rarities like Malvar can also develop remarkable depth.
