BODEGAS 5L | LA MALDICIÓN MALVAR IN CASK 2022 75cl

La Maldición Malvar en Bota 2022 comes from a project with an ancestral spirit, born in the forgotten vineyards of Madrid, less than five leagues from the capital. Bodegas Cinco Leguas – Marc Isart has rescued old Malvar vines in an extreme environment, marked by holm oaks, esparto grass, and a demanding climate. This expression aged in barrel—combining oxidative and biological aging under a veil of flor—reflects tradition, identity, and unusual honesty.
