Description
This wine is named in honor of the Pago de Valderramiro, a plot 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 us to obtain the purest character of our Tinto Fino wine and all its power, structure and great intensity, giving all the attention to the "terroir". The 2019 vegetative cycle was preceded by the April rains. However, from mid-spring to the end of summer, the year was marked by scarce 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 extraordinary quality and optimum health.
In the Valderramiro there are 4 hectares with 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 matured 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 on the taste, with chocolate, blueberry and minerals. This favorite wine of the King of Spain is often served at festive dinners of the royal family.
This is a 1.5 liter magnum version.

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 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.
