Maravedi Organic Tinto 2024

93 POINTS: Wine Direct Tasting Team

The Best Value BBQ wine on the Planet?  

"The Maravedi red is mostly Tempranillo topped up with a little Syrah which gives a touch of backbone and spice. It's not oak aged and retains all the fresh flavours of crunchy cherry and ripe red berry fruit and it rounds off nicely with a smooth, silky palate. It's a bargain at $16.99 but a price drop to $14.49 make this a BBQ essential for the rest of summer!"

Maravedí - the name of an ancient Spanish coin – symbolises the value of preserving the ancestral vineyards of the beautiful Spanish highlands. In producing these delicious, Organic wines, Maravedí support the families who sustainably farm their vineyards.

Produced from organically farmed old vineyards in Castile. The continental climate, with sunny days and cool nights, allow the winemakers to achieve intense fruit and excellent varietal definition, while retaining remarkable freshness. The Organic Grapes are picked at night and in the early morning hours and shipped quickly to their state-of-the-art winery for destalking, light crushing and fermentation under temperature control in stainless steel. Maceration lasts for 8-10 days to achieve a perfectly balanced style without excessive extraction. No oak is used to achieve a pure expression of the combination of Tempranillo and Syrah.

ABV: 13.5%
