Emilio Moro

Emilio Moro is a family-owned winery making wine for 120 years. The family owns 144 acres of vines in Pesquera de Duero, looking over the Duero River from an elevation of 700 metres. The 3rd generation Moro, Emilio started working in the winery with his father at 14. In the late 80's he had a meeting with his four children and they decided to increase the commercial end of the winery. Emilio planted new vines, grafting the centenarian grapes onto the young ones. In 1989 when Bodegas Emilio Moro was finally a reality, they launched their first wine, gaining the DO. Nowadays they not only own 173 acres where they grow their indigenous grapes, Tempranillo or Tinto Fino, but they have also extended the Cellar.  Aside from being family owned, the winery sponsors a charity that aims to bring clean drinking water to the poorest areas on the planet. As farmers themselves the owners and staff at Emilio Moro have an intimate understanding of the power that water can have not only over people's livelihoods, but their life itself. In 2009 alone the foundation funded in full from the wineries generous donations, gave away over 20 million Euros to help provide clean drinking water around the globe. A deep cherry red color, with intense aromas of ripened fruits.  On the palette it is powerful with earthy tones, meaty, and rich.  Notes of vanilla and balsamic from 12 months in French and American oak barrels.Notes of vanilla and balsamic from 12 months in French and American oak barrels.
