MATARROMERA CRIANZA

Following the winemaking tradition of his Castilian ancestors, Carlos Moro made his dream come true, and in 1988 founded the Matarromera bodega in Valbuena de Duero (Valladolid) with a clear goal in mind: to prepare quality wines with the most advanced technology and traditional cooking methods. At Grupo Matarromera sustainability is very important and the Matarromera Group was chosen by IESE [Institute of Higher Business Studies] in 2007 as the most environmentally friendly organization in Spain. The winery currently generates more energy than it consumes.

Matarromera Crianza is one of the flagship wines of the family and shows Carlos Moro's vision of the balance between the fruit and the wood. Matarromera Crianza is matured in 225 liter barrels made of French and American wood from the most prestigious forests. These barrels are fine-grained and light to medium toasted. During the aging process, the wine is kept in rooms with controlled humidity and temperature. The Matarromera Crianza is a 100% Tempranillo and it is aged for 14 months in barrels and then another 12 months in bottles.

In the glass, the wine has a ruby red color with striking violet notes that indicate excellent aging potential. In the nose Matarromera Crianza is intense and very complex with fine aromas of ripe black fruit. On the palate it is perfectly balanced with spicy flavors and soft roasted notes. A tasty wine with an intense and long finish. The wine has a fine tannic structure with the characteristic iconic elegance and intensity seen in the Matarromera wines, developed with only the best Ribera del Duero grapes. The Matarromera crianza is very mature and is a heck of a wine.

ABOUT GRUPPO MATARROMERA

Following the winemaking tradition of his Castilian ancestors, Carlos Moro made his dream come true, and in 1988 founded the Matarromera bodega in Valbuena de Duero (Valladolid) with a clear goal in mind: to prepare quality wines with the most advanced technology and traditional cooking methods. The biggest challenge Carlos Moro took up was his choice of new barrels for maturing his wines, an initiative that was new in this area at the time. Another key to Matarromera's immediate success was its excellent vineyards, in the middle of Ribera del Duero's "golden mile". Today, a quarter of a century later, Carlos Moro continues to design projects, making more and more sophisticated wines. Matarromera's focus on quality wines stems from the vineyard itself. Thanks to the work started by Carlos Moro's ancestors, loving care of the vineyard has been a constant factor. No fuss in the Bodega, but a good wine comes from a top vineyard.
