This Ribera de Duero Bodega 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 autochthonous clones, Emilio moro makes wines that excel in purity, elegance and complexity. The top cuvées are wines from two "Pagos" - individual vineyards with very old vines and an extremely small yield.

The Emilio Moro is a 100% Tempranillo and comes from different vineyards of different soil types (clay, lime and stone) of 25-35 years old. In Spanish terminology this is called a Crianza (the Malleolus is a Reserva). The wine is fermented with native yeasts in stainless steel vats 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. It is a bit closed at first, but after gentle rolling, beautiful and concentrated aromas of plums, ripe black cherries and fine herbs appear on the nose. The taste is full of refined tannins, balanced and with a nice acidity. You don't often come across such a good Ribera for such a good price.

Vineyard for 2019 Emilio Moro Magnum

The family business Emilio Moro has been located in Pesquera del Duero since 1892. This bodega boasts a three-generation tradition and includes vineyards over 90 years old. Due to their long history, they have been able to expand their vineyards very specifically with mostly Tinto Fino. The Finca Resalso and Crianza excel in purity, elegance and complexity. The top cuvées are of rare class; the very old vines of these two 'Pagos' give an extremely low yield resulting in very complex wines with a great depth and temperament.

In 1987 Emilio Moro first launched his own wines under his own label. With about 200 hectares of vineyards and a total annual production of 1.5 million bottles, it is a modern and large company. Thanks to its high quality standards and innovative management, it is also one of the leading wine companies. This applies not only in Spain but money worldwide and this is also confirmed that it has been nominated by Wine Enthusiast as Best Winery of the World. Emilio Moro's focus on Research, Development and Innovation is impressive and the enormous focus on quality is certainly an important factor in the high quality of all wines, but let's not forget that the old Emilio Moro vineyards are located in the most beautiful part of the Ribera del Duero with a completely unique and extremely suitable terroir located at a great height. In 2017, Wine Spectator placed the 2015 Emilio Moro in 59th place in the Prestigious Top 100 of the world's best wines.

In 2008, Emilio Moro died at the age of 75. In the same year, the Emilio Moro foundation was established, which is committed to providing poor regions of the world with clean drinking water and improving living conditions. Javier & José Moro are now in charge.

The emilio moro portfolio consists of 5 red wines, all of which are made from the regional variant of the Tempranillo (tinto fino). The special thing is that a very old pure clone is used. The vineyards range from 30-90 years old, but even the younger vineyards are from the lots of this unique clone. Emilio moro does not use the terms Crianza or Reserva and the name of the wine stands for the character of the wine.
