The Story
This wine reaches the highest levels of quality in Bodegas Emilio Moro, paying homage to the "Tinto Fino Clone" which is the winery's greatest asset. The sub-soil and micro-climate of the "Cornalvo", "Camino Viejo" and "La MIra" plots represent the three soil types of Ribera del Duero (clayey, chalky and rocky) and ageing takes place in exclusive barrels, designed to respect the aroma of the fruit and the land from which is comes, resulting in a wine that for us, is an expression of TRADITION, CHARACTER and PASSION.
A wine that satisfies the most demanding quality requirements from Bodegas Emilio Moro. It has limited production of 1,000 bottles (aprox).
Variety: 100% Tempranillo (Tinto Fino)
Tasting notes: This wine pays a tribute to our clone and developed through careful selection of our best "terroirs". It found in the 2011 vintage its best ally. The elegance of the chalk, the structure and character of the clay and the maturity of the stony soil are all expressed in this vintage and in this wine, in an intense and well-defined manner. All of this enriched with nuances of the finest oaks which enhance the natural expression of an extraordinarily fine red, our Clon de la Familia.
Winemaking: 26 days maceration in small capacity vats, malolactic fermentation and ageing for 18 months in limited edition French oak barrels.
Wine Information
Production: 993 bottles
Vintage 2011: The heavy rains over winter allowed the vines to withstand a drier cycle than expected. The warm temperatures during September and October along with the absence of any meteorological anomalies allowed for a longer harvest period which enabled the optimum ripening in each plot.
Vintage 2011
Rioja: Hot, dry weather throughout the summer set the stage for ripe, deeply flavored wines that tend to be low-acid and fruit-forward, with round tannins that will ensure positive aging over at least the coming decade.
