Emilio Moro Winery

Emilio Moro is a leading family winery in Ribera del Duero, specializing in Tempranillo from old vines. For generations, the estate has cultivated its own vineyards around Pesquera de Duero and is known for wines with concentration, ripe fruit, and a distinctive style. Innovation and precision in the cellar go hand in hand with respect for tradition and terroir.

More information about this winery can be found under the Winery tab.

Region, climate and location

The vineyards are located in Ribera del Duero, a high-altitude wine region with a distinctly continental climate. Significant temperature variations between day and night contribute to aromatic intensity and acidity retention. The 2023 vintage experienced warm spells, but also plenty of cool weather, resulting in ripe fruit that retains its freshness and structure.

Vineyards

Malleolus comes from select plots of old Tempranillo vines, planted on calcareous soils with clay and gravel. The low yields and age of the vines contribute to concentration and depth. These vineyards form the core of the Malleolus style within Emilio Moro's range. This iconic wine has played a significant role in the winery's history and marked a turning point in its development. "Malleolus," which means "vineyard" in Latin, pays tribute to the old vines of Pesquera de Duero. The wine is known for its elegance, distinct character, and perfect balance between ripeness and freshness—a direct result of the stony soils in this region.

Grape varieties and composition

The wine is made from 100 percent Tempranillo, also known locally as Tinto Fino. The focus is on a pure expression of the grape and plot, without blending with other varieties.

Harvest, vinification and maturation

The grapes are harvested by hand and rigorously selected. Vinification focuses on extraction that matches the ripeness of the fruit, while maintaining balance and freshness. Maturation takes place in oak barrels, where the use of wood enhances structure and complexity without overpowering the fruit.

Color, smell and taste

The wine displays a deep ruby red color. The nose is intense and ripe, with aromas of black cherry, blackberry, and plum, complemented by notes of cocoa, spice, and a subtle earthy undertone. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and powerful, with concentrated dark fruit and distinct yet ripe tannins. The acidity adds tension and balance to the rich structure. The finish is long and layered, with a combination of fruit, spice, and oak.

Sommy Pairing Beschrijving De 2023 Emilio Moro Malleolus is een prachtige wijn met een diepe robijnrode kleur en een complex smaakprofiel van rijpe zwarte kers, braam en pruim, aangevuld met subtiele tonen van cacao, specerijen en aardse nuances. De volle, krachtige structuur en de rijpe tannines maken deze wijn perfect in balans met de rijke smaken van rundvlees, gevogelte en feestelijke gerechten. Hij komt het beste tot zijn recht bij geroosterd of langzaam gegaard vlees, waarbij de wijn de smaakvolle en sappige elementen van het gerecht aanvult zonder te overweldigen. Een mooie bereidingswijze die extra goed past bij deze wijn is bijvoorbeeld een langzaam gegaarde runderstoof of gevogelte uit de oven met kruidige kruiden, omdat deze gerechten de volle, complexe karakteristieken van de wijn versterken en zorgen voor een harmonieuze harmonie op tafel.

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.
