More Information
Product description
Bodegas Emilio Moro 'Malleolus' originates from Spain, specifically from the Ribera del Duero region and the Castilla y León subregion. The name 'Malleolus' is derived from the Latin word for 'majuelo,' which is how locals in Pesquera de Duero refer to their vineyards. Founded three generations ago, the winery is currently managed by the third generation of the Moro family, who emphasize a common policy based on tradition, innovation, and social responsibility. Their winemaking philosophy focuses on capturing the fullest expression of terroir through sustainable practices while preserving a long family legacy of land stewardship.
Wine Description
This red wine presents a very deep cherry red colour and a medium-to-full body with a powerful, concentrated structure. The sensory profile is intense and complex, featuring a nose of ripe black fruits, such as blackberry jam, alongside resinous notes of cedar, tobacco, and balsamic herbs. On the palate, it is velvety and well-balanced, delivering flavours of spiced berries and cherries integrated with nuances of vanilla, chocolate, coffee, and cloves. The finish is long and firm, showcasing chalky tannins and a persistent aftertaste of dark fruit and aromatic woods.
Varietal Composition: 100% Tempranillo (locally known as Tinto Fino).
Stylistic Notes: The wine is aged in French oak barrels (often 500-litre) for approximately 18 months, which helps achieve a balance between maturity and freshness.
ABV: Recorded at 14.5%.
Organic Status: While the estate is not specifically certified organic for this bottling, the Moro family utilizes organic and sustainable practices to respect and protect the environment.
Food Pairing
The robust structure and intense flavours of 'Malleolus' make it an ideal companion for rich and savoury dishes. Suggested pairings include:
Meats: Roasted lamb, venison, beef steak, or roasted elk.
Hearty Fare: Rich game dishes and stewed red meats.
Mediterranean Cuisine: Substantial Mediterranean dishes and mature cheeses.
