2019 Emilio Moro Malleolus de Valderramiro

This wine is named in honor of the Pago de Valderramiro, a piece of clay soil planted in 1924 with 4 generations of winemaking tradition dedicated to preserving the essence and personality of a vineyard that represents the history of Emilio Moro. The clay soils allow one to obtain the purest character of our Tinto Fino wine and all its power, structure and great intensity, allowing the "terroir" to receive all the attention. The 2019 vegetative cycle was preceded by the April rains. However, from mid-spring to the end of summer, the year was characterized by scanty rainfall and higher than expected temperatures. The harvest began after a few rainy days, which helped to balance the composition of the grapes and resulted in a year of exceptional quality and optimal health.

In the Valderramiro there are 4 hectares of the oldest vines of this winery — planted in 1924, so almost 100 years old — that were used exclusively for this cuvée. In addition, the wine fermented in (new) American oak and was aged for another 18 months in (new) French 'barricas'. The result is a wine that can age for a long time. Brilliant cherry red, lots of ripe fruit on the nose (black cherry), mocha and a hint of fumé oak. Ripe, concentrated and velvety in taste, with chocolate, blueberry and minerals. This favorite wine of the King of Spain is frequently served at festive dinners of the royal family.
