Marc Isart was the head winemaker at Bernabeleva, which led him to be one of the founding members of Commando G. Deciding to step out on his own he went back home to the hills of Madrid to start his own Domaine: La Maldición. The vines are grown at above 700m and are notoriously hard to reach and work, hence the name 'La Maldicion' meaning 'the curse'.
'La Maldicion' Malvar, is a skin contact, orange wine, made with grapes from 50-100 year old vine. Fermentation continues for about 50 days on the skin and stalks, followed by aging in used french oak barrels. Quite restrained on the nose there are however some lovely citrus notes, with a hint of dry grass. On the palate it is fresh and juicy with citrus and yellow fruits, a lovely texture and a dry long finish.
