General Information
CM Verdejo Fermentado en Barrica 2019 is a unique white wine that is part of Bodega Carlos Moro's commitment to estate wines. A limited production project that aims to make the most of the native varieties from some of the most prestigious D.O.s in the national scene where the group owns a winery.
Finca la Marcas is an estate nestled in the D.O. Rueda, with 5000 vines per hectare, treated exclusively with natural products and native yeasts to fully respect the typicity of the Verdejo variety. Once harvested, the must is fermented in new fine-grained French oak barrels, where it remains for six months, aging on its fine lees before bottling.
This peculiar elaboration gives CM Verdejo Fermentado en Barrica 2019 an elegant character, silky texture, and great personality, making it the perfect companion for all kinds of cheeses, cold cuts, rice dishes, fish and seafood, or even lean meats.
Creators' opinion
CM Verdejo Fermentado en Barrica boasts a barley straw yellow color with vibrant greenish hues. On the nose, it stands out for its great intensity, frankness, and elegance. Multiple nuances, aromas of stone fruit with tropical touches of pineapple, among herbaceous aniseed and white flowers, in perfect balance with the barrel aromas (butter, vanilla, toffee, and cedarwood). On the palate, it is very elegant and velvety, with excellent citrus sensations, subtle tropical tones, slight smokiness, and elegant balsamic notes. Long, fresh, vibrant, and very balanced finish.
The winery
Founded in 2014 in San Vicente de la Sonsierra, Bodega CM de Matarromera (D.O.Ca. Rioja) is another remarkable project by the renowned Castilian-Leonese winemaker Carlos Moro, owner of Bodegas Familiares Matarromera. This venture was born from Carlos Moro's desire to expand Bodegas Familiares Matarromera and become part of a denomination of origin as prestigious and iconic as Rioja (prior to the creation of Bodega CM de Matarromera, Bodegas Familiares Matarromera included only wineries within the denominations of origin influenced by the Duero River).
A business project aimed at producing high-end wines and sharing the philosophy upon which Bodegas Familiares Matarromera is founded: innovation, respect for sustainability and the environment, and the pursuit of the highest quality. Bodega CM de Matarromera owns 30 hectares of its own vineyards distributed across various plots located in San Vicente de la Sonsierra and Labastida, as well as 60 controlled hectares situated in these towns and Ábalos.
The winery's facilities feature an impressive 300-meter-long underground cellar that houses 2,000 American and French oak barrels. Currently, Bodega CM de Matarromera produces the brands CM and Oinoz (D.O.Ca. Rioja). Additionally, this initiative also includes other select estate wines from symbolic vineyards in other denominations of origin, such as Toro, Rueda, Ribera del Duero, and Cigales.
