Having established Emilio Moro as the benchmark for greatness in Ribera del Duero, the 2020 Malleolus has the chance to be the greatest ever for this historic label. One of the oldest leading producers in Spain, Bodegas Emilio Moro dates back to 1891, the year its founder was born in Pesquera de Duero, a privileged enclave in the Ribera de Duero surrounded by vineyards. The name "Malleolus," meaning vineyard in Latin, is the name given to the old vineyards producing an elegant wine, with great personality. The 2020 is a perfect balance between ripeness and freshness, framed by the alluring mineral characteristics and intensity on the nose, highlighting ripe black fruits that gain density as the wine evolves in the glass. Wine Enthusiast's top rated Spanish red under $50, we've only got 7 cases left of this 2020 vintage. Don't miss it!
"Dark ruby violet-colored in the glass, this wine has enticing aromas of orange peel, milk chocolate and black raspberry. Plush tannins and bright acidity wake up your mouth to flavors of ripe cherry, cranberry, anise frond and dried lavender." The Wine Enthusiast, 97 Points
"Fragrant, with plum, cherry compote, violets, cocoa and dried herbs. Elegant, lifted and complex, round silky tannins, mouthwatering and textured style, super-enjoyable." Decanter Magazine, 96 Points
