Following the winemaking tradition of his Castilian ancestors, Carlos Moro made his dream come true and in 1988 he founded the bodega Matarromera in Valbuena de Duero (Valladolid) with a clear goal in mind: the preparation of quality wines with the most advanced technology and thereby the take into account traditional preparation methods. At Grupo Matarromero, sustainability is very important and the Matarromera Group was chosen in 2007 by IESE [Institute of Higher Business Studies] as the most environmentally friendly organization in Spain. The winery is currently generating more energy than it uses.
Matarromera Crianza is one of the flagship wines of the family and shows the vision of Carlos Moro about the balance between the fruit and the wood. Matarromera Crianza is aged in 225 liter barrels made of French and American wood from the most prestigious forests. These barrels are fine-grained and lightly to medium roasted. During the aging process, the wine is stored in rooms with controlled humidity and temperature. The Matarromera Crianza is a 100% Tempranillo and it
is aged for 14 months in barrels, followed by another 12 months in bottles.
In the glass, the wine has a ruby red color with striking violet tones 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 softly toasted notes. A tasty wine with an intense and long finish. The wine has a fine tannin structure with the characteristic iconic elegance and intensity as we see this with the Matarromera wines, developed with only the best Ribera del Duero grapes. The Matarromera crianza is very mature and is a veritable wine.
ABOUT GRUPPO MATARROMERAFollowing the winemaking tradition of his Castilian ancestors, Carlos Moro made his dream come true and in 1988 he founded the bodega Matarromera in Valbuena de Duero (Valladolid) with a clear goal in mind: the preparation of quality wines with the most advanced technology and thereby the take into account traditional preparation methods. The biggest challenge that Carlos Moro took was his choice of new barrels for maturing his wines, an initiative that was new in this region at the time. Another key to Matarromera's immediate success were the excellent vineyards in the middle of the "golden mile" of Ribera del Duero. Today, a quarter of a century later, Carlos Moro continues to design projects, and he continues to prepare more and more sophisticated wines. Matarromera's focus on quality wines comes from the vineyard itself. Thanks to the work started by Carlos Moro's ancestors, loving care for the vineyard has been a constant factor. No contagion in the Bodega but a good wine comes from a top vineyard.
At Grupo Matarromera, sustainability is very important and the Matarromera Group was chosen in 2007 by IESE [Institute of Higher Business Studies] as the most environmentally friendly organization in Spain. The winery is currently generating more energy than it uses. Each bodega of the Matarromera group is a sustainable building and designed to utilize natural lighting, to provide optimum insulation and to effectively use both rainwater and wastewater.
