Emilio Moro is seen as the example of the winemaker in the Dueros (benchmark producer). Malleolus comes from the Latin word Majuelo which means 'little vineyard'. The tempranillo grapes come from vines ranging between 25-75 years old. The Malleolus is only made in the good years. The 2021 harvest saw mild spring temperatures, abundant rainfall in April and a summer with temperatures slightly lower than normal, slowing the plants' vegetative cycle. At the beginning of autumn there was little rain, which promoted the ripening of the grapes.
The Emilio Moro Malleolus is a variety Tinto Fino 100% (the Emilio Moro clone of the Tempranillo) and has been macerated for 18 days with its own skins. After malolactic fermentation in stainless steel barrels, 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, good intensity and 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 on the palate with good balance and a long, persistent passage. The Malleolus has a very showy, seductive nose of smoked bacon, roasted coffee, grains, violets, cherries and raspberries with lots of spice and very well integrated oak. The taste is medium to full-bodied with beautiful refined tannins. Beautiful for now, but will certainly improve over the years and this wine has been seen as a benchmark Ribera del Duero wine for years.
Beautiful 3 liter Jeroboam in a unique luxury wooden box.

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.
