Having established Emilio Moro as the benchmark for greatness in Ribera del Duero, the 2020 Vintage of Malleolus is the highest rating ever, and a chance to be the greatest wine for this historic label. One of the oldest leading quality producers in Spain, the winery 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 in Pesquera de Duero, where Emilio Moro was born. An elegant wine, with great personality, the Malleolus Ribera del Duero is a perfect balance between ripeness and freshness, framed by the alluring mineral characteristics given to it by the stony soils of the area. With excellent ripening conditions, these special plots provide tannic wines with a marked acidity and are ideal for ageing. 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
