This Bodega from Ribera de Duero in the heart of the DO is seen by the other top producers as one of the emerging new stars in the area. With 70 hectares of Tinto Fino from old native clones, Emilio moro produces wines that excel in purity, elegance and complexity. The topcuvees are wines from two "Pagos" - individual vineyards with very old sticks and an extremely small yield.

The Emilio Moro is a 100% Tempranillo and comes from various vineyards of different soil types (clay, lime and stone) from 25-35 years old. In Spanish terminology this is a so-called Crianza (the Malleolus is a Reserva). The wine is fermented with native yeasts in stainless steel barrels with 15 days of skin contact and for a year in oak barrels of which 50% French and 50% American oak. The Emilio Moro is dark in color and almost opaque. At first it is a bit closed, but after gentle rolling, nice and concentrated aromas of plums, ripe black cherries and fine herbs come into the nose. The taste is full of refined tannins, balanced and with an attractive acidity. You don't often come across such a good Ribera for such a good price.
