Profile of Ribera del Duero Wine Region

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. In September 2001 the new winery was finished. Robert Parker rated the 1998 Crianza 92 points.

2000 Emilio Moro

"Parker 90 !! The 2000 Moro was aged in equal parts French and American oak for 12 months. It exhibits an excellent ruby/purple color along with a sumptuous bouquet of licorice, underbrush, black currants, and jammy cherries, a medium to full-bodied, elegant, plush personality, and a moderately tannic finish. Give it 12-18 more months of cellaring, and drink it over the following 10-12 years." - Supercellars
