Persoonlijke gegevens
This iconic wine has played an important role in the history of the winery and marked a turning point in its development. "Malleolus", which means vineyard in Latin, is a tribute to the old vines of Pesquera de Duero. The wine is known for its elegance, pronounced character and a perfect balance between ripeness and freshness - a direct result of the stony soils in this region.
Features of the vintage
The favourable spring temperatures accelerated the growth of the vines, but this was later slowed down by the arrival of summer. The warm and dry weather continued until harvest, resulting in an exceptional concentration and ripeness of the grapes.
This wine is made entirely from the Tinto Fino grape (local name for Tempranillo in Ribera del Duero). The grapes underwent an 18-day maceration, during which the juice remained in contact with the skins to extract color, flavor and tannins. Then the malolactic fermentation took place in stainless steel tanks (a natural process in which the hard malic acids are transformed into softer lactic acids, which gives the wine roundness and balance). After this fermentation the wine was aged in French oak barrels until bottling.
Tasting notes
Colour: A deep, ripe cherry red colour.
Nose: Intense and characterful, with aromas of ripe black fruits, such as cassis and blueberries. In the background, subtle woody notes emerge, together with balsamic spices such as pepper and cloves, and refined hints of leather and tobacco.
Taste: Powerful and perfectly balanced, with a robust structure and ripe, round tannins. The finish is long and pleasant, which emphasizes the complexity and elegance of the wine.
Emilio Moro's Malleolus is beautiful for now, but will certainly improve with age and this wine has been regarded as a benchmark Ribera del Duero wine for years.

| Sommy Pairing Beschrijving | De Emilio Moro Malleolus 2022 biedt een diepe kersenkleur met een neus vol rijpe zwarte vruchten, onderbouwd door subtiele houttonen, balsamische kruidigheid en een vleugje leer. In de mond is hij krachtig en evenwichtig met rijpe, ronde tannines en een lange, elegante afdronk die frisheid behoudt dankzij de stenige terroir. Deze wijn past perfect bij barbecue en romantische terrasdiners doordat zijn stevige structuur en rokerige, kruidige toon mooi samensmelten met geroosterd vlees, gegrilde groenten en pittige marinades; serveer licht gekoeld en laat hem decanteren om de aromatische complexiteit volledig naar voren te brengen. Voor extra aangenaam proefplezier werkt een korte beluchting of het toevoegen van een vleugje rokerige houttoonkaart goed samen met de smaken, en een aardse maaltijd zoals paddenstoelenrisotto laat de elegante tannines stralen. |

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.

Very expressive aromas of blackberries, black olives and graphite. The palate is quite firm, with dark fruit flavors. Needs a couple of years to soften. Better from 2028.

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.

From: Duero: From Ribera to Toro via Rueda (And a Few Other Detours) (Jun 2025)
From the stony soils of Ribera del Duero, the 2022 Malleolus delivers a ripe profile shaped by both site selection and a warm year. Aromas of blackberry, anise and oak mingle with a hint of cedar and layers of herbs. The palate is broad and slightly indulgent, with grippy tannins that feel a bit rigid on the gums but do not break the enveloping flow. Intensity of flavor and grip drive the finish. A well-made, rich interpretation of Ribera.

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.
