BOLDEGAS 5L | LA MALDICIÓN MALVAR 2023 75cl

La Maldición Malvar 2023 is the most authentic expression of Bodegas Cinco Leguas, the personal project of Marc Isart, linked to mythical initiatives such as Comando G and Bernabeleva. It comes from the dream of creating thirst-quenching wines, wines designed to provide pleasure and quench thirst, made from old vines located less than five leagues from Madrid.

In this austere landscape, marked by esparto grass, holm oaks, thyme, dry and hot summers, and extreme winters, the Malvar variety finds its best expression. The result is a vibrant white wine full of character, combining the tradition of a historic territory with the contemporary vision of its maker.
