José Carlos Álvarez

Located in the town of Pesquera in the Valladolid district, Emilio Moro is a family-owned winery with over 120 years of winemaking history in Ribera del Duero. The family owns 173 acres of vineyards located in several parcels in Pesquera del Duero. The average age of the vines is 10 to 25 years, and the vineyards are located at high altitude – 1,950 feet – on the banks of the Duero River. The first vineyards were planted in 1932 – in the year of the founder, Emilio Moro’s birth – and the winery works with a pure clone of the Tinto Fino transplanted from their earliest vines. Soils are clay with gravel and chalk, and the area is endowed with the harsh, continental climate that defines the unique character of Ribera wines.

Tasting Notes

This wine displays an intense, ripe black cherry colour. On the nose, it develops well with ripe red berry hints (mulberry and blackcurrant) intermingled with elegant, balsamic, oaky aromas. On the palate it is powerful with nuances of incense, spice and sweet-tasting cinnamon. This wine combines the sweetness of the ripe tannins with the polyphenolic structure of the Tinto Fino variety. Well balanced, lingering, harmonious and with a lingering finish

Tasting Notes

This wine displays an intense, ripe black cherry colour, revealing bright purple glints on swirling. On the nose, it is powerful and concentrated which develops well with mineral touches that denote an outstanding mineral terroir. Liquorice, mulberry and blackberry aromas intermingle with creamy, toasty hints, suggesting cinnamon, ginger, clove and aniseed notes with cacao and vanilla coming through. On the palate, it is silky with unctuous tannins but has also a very powerful structure and a well-balanced acidity with a lingering finish.
