Description
At the helm of Bodegas Mauro is Mariano Garcia, a former oenologist at the Spanish top estate Vega Sicilia and therefore certainly not just any winemaker. The Mauro VS (Vendimia Seleccionada) is a 100% Tempranillo wine that takes a giant leap forward in richness compared to the Mauro cuvee. It also displays the remarkable freshness characteristic of Garcia, thanks to the significant temperature variation between day and night. It boasts aromas of black fruit jam in a lush, liqueur-like setting. It will easily age for another 6 to 8 years and will still be in good shape at its 20th birthday.
Mauro VS comes from two unique plots, located in Tudela de Duero and Traspinedo. They are organically farmed with very low yields. The vineyards are over 80 years old. Mauro VS is produced only in the best vintages. After fermentation, the wine is aged for an average of 30 months in French and American oak barrels, followed by an additional 6-12 months of bottle aging before release.
About Tudela de Duero
Tudela de Duero is a major wine region in the province of Valladolid, in the autonomous community of Castile and León, Spain. It is part of the Ribera del Duero region and lies on the banks of the Duero River, which plays a crucial role in shaping the area's terroir. The combination of a unique geographical location, rich soils, and favorable climatic conditions has made Tudela de Duero a respected wine region.
The soils in Tudela de Duero are predominantly sandy and clayey, with a limestone subsoil. This contributes to the mineral expression and finesse of the wines. The region has a continental climate with large temperature variations between day and night. This promotes slow ripening of the grapes, resulting in concentrated aromas and natural acidity. The vineyards are situated at an altitude of 700-900 meters above sea level, which adds an extra dimension of freshness to the wines.

The 2022 VS, a selection from their vineyards in Traspinedo and Tudela de Duero, has the added depth, definition and complexity it usually has in comparison with the regular Mauro. In the warm and dry 2022 vintage, they still managed to keep the elegance and balance through good freshness (pH is 3.5) while it does not lack ripeness and shows the character of the place and the year. The grapes are moved without pumps and fermented in stainless steel with indigenous yeasts, and the wine matured in French oak barrels for 24 months. 50,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in January 2025.
The García family has 90 hectares of vineyards with an average age of 35 years in Tudela de Duero and Traspinedo. They produce 350,000 bottles. In 2022, they got low yields because of the heat and drought, but some rain at the end of the season balanced things; as a result, the wines have precision, freshness and definition. For the Godello, 2023 was warm, and the wine is more opulent and aromatic. 2023 was cooler, but an end of the summer with some high temperatures resulted in an early harvest (they started on August 28). The rain in early September refreshed the plants, and the wines are more delicate and fragrant, ripe without excess and with attractive fruit and fine tannins.

Bodegas Mauro was founded in 1978 by Mariano García, former winemaker from Vega Sicilia. His sons Alberto and Eduardo also work in the company, while cousin Isaac Fernández is the oenologist. The vineyards, in total 60 ha, are located just outside (west) the DO Ribera del Duero. The vineyards are mainly planted with Tempranillo and Syrah. On the spot, a continental climate with an Atlantic influence prevails with no more than 425 liters per m2 of rainfall per year.
The soil contains a lot of lime and is very porous. The vines are 20 years old, in the Cueva Baja vineyard of 3 hectares almost 100 years. Annually, some 210,000 bottles come from the beautiful cellars, which indicates a low average yield per hectare, namely 35 hl. Mauro has 950 225 liter barriques of mainly French oak, 25% of American oak. 20% is renewed annually. Mauro's reputation is enormous, the wines belong to the international top. In 2004 a new Bodega was built just outside the busy town of Tudela de Duero to further increase quality and improve the accessibility of the company.
The winery produces lush, elegant and balanced wines: Mauro, the Mauro VS, the Mauro Terreus and the Mauro Godello. In addition, they also produce the San Roman and the very popular vaue for money wine: the Prima
Since 2004, Eduardo Garcia, son of the legendary winemaker Mariano Garcia, has been in charge. Eduardo is a young talent of Spanish viticulture with an impressive background and reputation in the wine world. His background includes master degrees in viticulture and oenology at the most prestigious schools in Bordeaux and Spain, along with his already great hands-on experience in the vineyards of Bordeaux, Burgundy and California.
