San Roman, Malvasia, Toro

Bodegas y Vinedos Maurodos was founded by Mariano Garcia in 1997 and owns 100 hectares in the villages of Villaester, San Roman de Hornija and Morales, planted mainly with Tinta de Toro, the local clone of Tempranillo. In recent years the winemaking team has, under Eduardo Garcia’s (Mariano’s son) direction, been producing wines in a fresher style, harvested at the optimum moment to balance freshness and richness. This leads off with intense attention to farming exceptional grapes using organic methods and some biodynamic concepts and practices. Grapes for San Roman, their original wine, have been harvested earlier and see shorter maceration times during fermentation.

San Roman, Malvasia, Toro 2021	93 Wine Advocate The white 2021 Malvasía comes from a year with mild temperatures and persistent rain that resulted in a fresh and aromatic wine with a moderate 12.5% alcohol and a pH of 3.3, denoting freshness. It comes from 60-year-old vines in Los Almendros (paraje El Monte) and fermented in new and used 500-liter oak barrels, where the wine matured for 10 months. The nose is clean and young, quite fruit-driven but with complexity and depth and integrated oak. It’s not explosive; it’s a little shy with restraint, serious and harmonious with a soft mouthfeel and a tasty and almost salty finish. 3,950 bottles produced. It was bottled in July 2022. Drink 2023-2027 92 Decanter Very elegant expression of Malvasia, fermented and aged in French oak barrels with frequent batonnage. The lees work is apparent in the generous body and mid-palate width. Fleshy lemon, white grapefruit, blanched almonds, green apple and crunchy pear are supported by a vibrant acidity. Very balanced and bright. Organic certified. 92 View from the Cellar The 2021 Malvasia from San Román is once again nicely low in octane, coming in at 12.5 percent alcohol in this vintage. The wine is an excellent follow-up to the superb 2020 version, delivering a refined aromatic constellation of peach, apple, green olive, white soil tones, vanillin oak and a lovely topnote of acacia blossoms. On the palate the wine is pure, full-bodied, focused and complex, with a lovely core, sound acids and fine length and grip on the seamlessly balanced finish. Fine juice. 2023-2030. 94 OwenBargreen.com 2021 San Roman Malvasia- The 2021 San Roman Blanco is 100% Malvasia Castellana that was sourced from the 60-year-old El Pinar vineyard. Showing loads of nerve, with beautiful freshness and mouth-watering acidity, this delights with its melon and citrus rind flavors alongside pastry crust notes. It is nearly impossible to put down once opened. Drink 2023-2033.	Bottle Image Label Image Shelf Talker Tech Sheet
