The Greatness of Ribera del Duero


... a very rare treat indeed is the Bodegas Emilio Moro Malleolus de Sanchomartin.   A wonderful expression of Tempranillo ... smooth, lush blackberry fruit with very appealing notes of cedar and smoke.


Sourced from an "old-vines" vineyard originally planted in 1944, with limestone and clay soils.
Moro also makes an entry-level Ribera that is worth seeking out.
