Emilio Moro Description

Bodegas Emilio Moro is one of the oldest leading quality producers in Ribera del Duero. The history of the family goes back 3 generations. 1st generation Emilio Moro was born in 1891 and 2nd generation Emilio Moro in 1932. Both were born in a viticulture environment surrounded by vineyards and grew up treading grapes and racking wine in their native village of Pesquera de Duero, in the province of Valladolid.

Emilio Moro taught his son, Emilio how to make wine but also to love it. Then Emilio passed along that knowledge, passion, and love for wine to the third generation. Currently the third and fourth generation together run the winery.

The vineyards were grafted with the purest clone of Tinto Fino, commonly known as Tempranillo, recovered from the oldest vineyards that the family owns, Valderramiro and Resalso. Currently the family owns more than 200 hectares. They are located between 2,400 to 3,000 feet of elevation.

The third generation lead by Javier, Rubi and Fabiola started the newest project of the family when they were looking to the area within Spain capable of producing the best white wine. They settled in Bierzo in 2016 and have been making wines there with Godello variety ever since.

“Wine is art. If you listen, it speaks to you, it tells you when it needs to rack, when to rest. It’s like a living being that needs to be understood and cared for”. D. Emilio Moro

Winemaker Notes

Cherry red in color. On the nose it is expressive with notes reminiscent of recently fermented grapes. The primary aromas and notes of black and red fruits typical of the variety stand out. On the palate it is intense, almost rustic, but easy and friendly thanks to high-quality raw materials and an optimum point of maturity.

Professional Ratings

91Wine Spectator
Fruit-forward and expressive, with generous well-spiced boysenberry and blueberry fruit flavors up front, followed by savory notes of eucalyptus, Earl Grey, loamy earth and smoke on the midpalate and finish. Fresh and floral, this is thick in texture but well-knit and balanced, with taut tannins firming the zesty finish.
90James Suckling
Such a big, fruity and floral nose. Brooding, pristine and rich with violets, purple fruit and brambleberries. Medium to full body, firm tannins, full of fruit.
