Description
Emilio Moro is considered the benchmark producer of the Duero wine. Malleolus comes from the Latin word Majuelo which means 'small vineyard'. The Tempranillo grapes come from vines ranging from 25-75 years old. The Malleolus is only made in good years. The 2021 harvest saw mild spring temperatures, abundant rainfall in April and a summer with temperatures slightly lower than normal, which slowed down the vegetative cycle of the plants. At the beginning of autumn there was little rain, which favored the ripening of the grapes.
The Emilio Moro Malleolus is a variety Tinto Fino 100% (the Emilio Moro clone of the Tempranillo) and has macerated for 18 days with its own skins. After malolactic fermentation in stainless steel vats, it is aged in French oak barrels. In the glass the wine has a very deep, intense cherry red color. This Malleolus presents an intense concentration of fresh red fruit - a result of the low yield of the old vineyard. It has class, elegance, ripe aromas, with good intensity and a great personality. The balance between ripeness and freshness is excellent, and the months of aging in the 500 liter barrels have given the Malleolus a very nice complexity. It is powerful and structured and in the mouth with a good balance and a long, persistent passage. The Malleolus has a very showy, seductive nose of smoked bacon, roasted coffee, cereals, violets, cherries and raspberries with lots of spices and very well integrated oak. The taste is medium to full-bodied with nice refined tannins. Beautiful for now, but will certainly improve with age and this wine has been seen as a benchmark Ribera del Duero wine for years.

The 2017 Malleolus is also pure Tempranillo, in this case from small parcels (in Spanish "majuelo" and in Latin "malleolus") of vines aged between 25 and 75 years of age. Yields were reduced by 50% in 2017, so it's a very unusual vintage. It matured in French oak barrels for 18 months. As I found with the rest of 2017s, this is very expressive, aromatic and fresh, floral, aromatic, happy and expressive, without excess ripening and with fruit in the foreground and the oak neatly folded into the fruit. It's juicy, medium to full-bodied, perhaps not as concentrated as others, but balanced, with fine-grained tannins; it's very pleasant and representative of the grape and zone. Very good for the conditions of the year. 180,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in May 2019.
Against all odds, the 2017s from Emilio Moro showed quite well, despite the superiority of 2016 in complexity and depth. The top range for sale now is from the 2015 vintage, and the wines behaved quite well for a warm and dry year. They are some of the icons of modern Ribera del Duero, and following the line of the previous years, the oak feels better and better integrated, of course within their powerful and generously oaked style.

Ribera del Duero Malleolus 2021 | $50
Expressive notes of licorice and candied violet on the nose accent flavors of blackberry paste, black cherry pâte de fruit, ground coffee, dried sage and tar in this dark, rich red, which is brightened by the tang of orange peel acidity. The sculpted tannins show a velvety edge that aids integration and the overall harmonious feel. Best from 2025 through 2034. 20,000 cases made, 7,500 cases imported.

The 2020 Malleolus is 100% Tempranillo sourced from Pesquera del Duero and was aged in 500-liter French oak barrels. A dark garnet-red in color. The nose presents dark fruit accompanied by wild herbs and cedar hints. The rich, indulgent wine shows reactive tannins and a liqueur-like mouthfeel that leads to a flavorful, woody finish.

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.
