Creators' opinion
Cherry red color with violet edges, on the nose it is very expressive and fruity where the personality of the 2023 vintage is reflected through the fruit balance more inclined towards red fruits. However, the characteristic notes of black fruits with lactic nuances of the brand are also present. It is balanced and mature, with a very pleasant and tasty mouthfeel that makes it a very appealing and easy-to-drink wine.

Located in Pesquera de Duero, in a privileged enclave of the Ribera del Duero, it is currently led by Javier Moro (president), heir to the love for wine of his grandfather and father, both named Emilio.
This Valladolid-based winery has always been committed to producing wines deeply connected to their terroir, convinced that it is the soil that gives them personality. It owns nearly 400 hectares of its own vineyards, planted and grafted with a clone of tempranillo recovered from its oldest vines, which undoubtedly provides fruits of extraordinary quality, with great color, character, and nuances. Among the most emblematic plots of the winery are Resalso (planted in 1933, the year Emilio Moro, father of the current owners, was born); Valderramiro, with the oldest vines of the winery and the cradle of the great wine Malleolus de Valderramiro; Sanchomartín and Camino Viejo, from which the red wine Malleolus is born.
