MALAHIERBA Maleza
Silvia claims that “San Esteban de la Sierra” is the village in their area that she loves the most, and from a 920m altitude granite parcel, they source the fruit for what is ultimately Malahierba's most elegant wine. "Maleza” refers to when a weed becomes leafy and more plantlike. After only a seven-day maceration, the wine spends 14 months in acacia barrels where it develops its caressing charm. The aromatics are polished and high-toned, like a regal confluence of cherries and lacquer, and the palate is a sustained and animated panoply of juicy berry fruit and ethereal sweetspice.
