Description
What type of wine it is
Emilio Moro from the Emilio Moro winery is a still red wine made from Tempranillo grapes, originating from the Castile and León region and belonging to the Ribera del Duero appellation. It presents a deep cherry red colour with vibrant violet highlights. On the nose, it offers aromas of red and black berries, followed by hints of vanilla and cocoa. Fermented in steel and aged in oak barrels, it is silky and enveloping on the palate, with smooth tannins and a long, balanced finish.
Where it comes from
The grapes are grown in Pesquera de Duero, within the renowned Ribera del Duero, in the Castile and León region. The vineyards, composed of middle-aged vines, allow the purity of the fruit and the terroir to be fully expressed. This red wine bears the name of the winery's founder, Emilio Moro, celebrating a deep family bond. This heritage is evidenced by the reference to the historic La Rendeja vineyard, guaranteeing a solid territorial identity.
How it is produced
The winemaking process involves fermentation in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature to preserve aromatic clarity. Subsequently, the wine ages for twelve months in French and American oak barrels, gaining structure and gently integrating the woody notes. This process maintains a perfect balance between fruit ripeness and acidity.
History and Trivia
Emilio Moro 2023 is the winery's flagship wine, a tribute to the founder that embodies its most authentic soul. The label celebrates the centuries-old family tradition through an evocative photograph from 1938, depicting Emilio Moro and his father during the grape harvest at the La Rendeja vineyard. Deeply rooted in the Ribera del Duero region, this red has moved away from traditional ageing classifications to freely express the pure identity of the Tempranillo grape, offering a memorable sip rich in a precious historical heritage.

"Wine is an art, if you know how to listen it speaks to you, telling you when it needs racking and when it needs to rest. It is like a living being that you have to understand, look after and care for." Don Emilio Moro Read more
