Spanish term or phrase: política marquista (y toda la frase en general)
Hola a todos

En primer lugar, quisiera disculparme porque estos dos últimos días he estado usando el sistema mas de lo habitual. Mi razon es que estoy traduciendo una cosa que espero no conocer nunca a la persona que la escribio, (ya que me meterian en la carcel por mi comportamiento) y a veces me siento algo (muy) perdida.

Mi pregunta es la siguiente: ¿qué signfica política marquista y cómo se dice en inglés? Y más (bueno, son dos preguntas) ¿alguine me puede ayudar a formular esto de modo mínimamente decente en inglés?

"La bodega XXX apoyada en una audaz política marquista, insólita en la Galicia de aquellos tiempos - corría el año 1970 - La estructura vinícola de Galicia permanecía anclada con plantaciones a muy pequeña escala y sin un escaparate de vinos que despuntara por su calidad."

¿Comprenden ahora mi deseperación?

Cualquier ayuda será muy agradecida. Gracias mil,

Blanca

brand-based
Explanation:
I would say maybe it’s “brand-based” policy or strategy, i.e., based on promoting their brand.

“The XXX winery relied on a bold brand-based strategy, unusual at a time—this was in 1970—when the wine industry in Galicia was structured around very small-scale holdings and lacked a quality showcase for its products.”

That is, IF that’s supposed to be a complete, stand-alone sentence. If it’s not and is a fragment, then change “relied” to “relying” and put a comma before it. Also,
I chose to use “products” instead of “wine” at the end, just to avoid repetition.

Hope it helps.

Thank you Cindy, a great answer. I liked Gillian's, too, but yours fits much better, as the fragment (even it looks impossible) is a complete sentece (or maybe two, you never know).

Thank you all anyway.

branding policy/strategy


Explanation:
"... the XXX cellar/bar/restaurant [depending on context], buoyed up by an audacious branding policy, unusual for Galicia in those days - this was during 1970 - The structure of wine-growing in Galicia was still based on very small-scale plantations and there was no showcase for wines that stood out in terms of quality."

I'm assuming that there's something that comes in front of this extract, otherwise my suggestion wouldn't make grammatical sense. I'm also cheating a bit in using an English verb (stood) that's ambiguous as to number, since it would make more sense to have "despuntaran" instead of "despuntara".
