The complexity and structure of a red wine from Ribera Del Duero
The estate
Emilio Moro has been a family-owned estate since its foundation in 1932. Over the years, it has become one of the finest references for Ribera del Duero wines, a wine-growing area located in the Castilla y León region of north-west Spain.
Following the philosophy of its founder, the passionate winemaker Don Emilio Moro, the estate has been producing exceptional wines for several generations, highlighting the tapestry of terroirs in this region, which is home to some of the most renowned bodegas such as Dominio de Pingus.
Aromatic and expressive, the wines of Bodega Emilio Moro seduce with their inimitable style, whose liveliness and power in their youth evolve over the years into a complex expression with a beautiful delicacy.
The wine
"Malleolus" is a Latin term, which later became "majuelo", designating the specific vineyard from which this wine is made. Located in the municipality of Pesquera de Duero, these south-west facing vineyards are planted on clay-limestone-stony soil.
The vintage
While the beginning of 2019 was marked by an extremely rainy April, spring and summer conditions were characterised by low rainfall and high temperatures. The rainy spells that saved the vineyard and the ripening of the grapes were recorded a few days before the harvesting of high-quality grapes that boasted an utterly healthy condition.
Vinification and ageing
Following the harvest, the grapes undergo an 18-day skin maceration. Alcoholic and malolactic fermentation in stainless steel vats. The wine is aged in French oak barrels.
The blend
Emilio Moro's Malleolus 2019 is a 100% Tempranillo.
