Description
The Emilio Moro Elalba de Emilio Moro is a new wine in the Emilio Moro range and first saw the light of day with the 2022 vintage, which was launched in 2024 and then only in Spain and Switzerland. This 2023 vintage was released in early 2025 and fortunately we, as Importer of Emilio Moro in the Netherlands, can also get some of it because not much is made of it. "El Alba" means "the dawn" or "the sunrise" in Spanish and the story behind the name is: "Every day the morning breaks again. Life resumes again and again, no matter how long the night lasts. The dawn symbolizes hope, renewal and the inevitable cycle of existence"
This is not just a rosé, it is a serious wine. The Elalba Ribera del Duero Rosado is a blend of Tempranillo and Albillo grapes. Both grape varieties were harvested on the same day and processed directly together. The first pressing of the juice, the best and most delicate fraction, was selected and then fermented at a controlled temperature of about 18°C for 15 days and aged in French oak barriques
The Emilio Moro Ribera del Duero Elalba de Emilio Moro Rosado is a pure and mineral Ribera del Duero rosado with hints of wet stones and a refined mix of light pink berries and grapefruit peel. The wine has a lively texture, a medium body and a tight, long finish with a subtle minerality. Great to drink now, but will develop even more character with age. Drinking window until 2032.

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.
