Malvar

In the barren, sun-drenched high plateaus of central Spain, the indigenous grape variety Malvar preserves a fascinating piece of oenological identity. Particularly in the Méntrida region, this late-ripening, thick-skinned grape yields wines that convince with a very unique, understated depth. In the glass, Malvar often presents itself with a warm, golden-yellow colour and an inviting bouquet of dried wild herbs, ripe stone fruit and a fine, almost salty minerality. On the palate, these wines possess a natural, dense texture and a mild acidity, making them outstanding companions to hearty tapas or matured cheeses. Just how vibrant and structured this variety can be is demonstrated by the Jimenez - Landi winery, which gives it a grand stage both in a classic, clean white wine style and as a finely tannic orange wine.
