General Information
Founded in 1988, Bodega Matarromera is the cornerstone of the Bodegas Familiares Matarromera group and a fundamental winery to understand the Ribera del Duero Denomination of Origin.
In 2020, after an extensive trajectory of oenological and business successes, Matarromera Esencia was born. A red wine that represents the transformation of the winery to sustainably adapt to the future, bringing together the best vintages in a single wine with a limited production of fewer than 4,000 bottles.
Made entirely with tempranillo, Matarromera Esencia is, without a doubt, the most ambitious endeavor in the history of the house, the result of the constant pursuit of excellence by entrepreneur Carlos Moro. A red wine in which complexity, aromatic range, and oenological wisdom are perfectly integrated.
Creators' opinion
La verdadera esencia de una bodega se esconde en sus viñedos, en sus barricas, en su gente... Esta elaboración es un homenaje a todo lo que hemos sido y a todo lo que seremos, porque para poder entender el futuro debemos haber aprendido de nuestro pasado. Este vino único es la integración de grandes elaboraciones de todos estos años, que ahora se funden en este Matarromera Esencia.
The winery
Following the winemaking tradition of his Castilian ancestors, Carlos Moro founded the Matarromera winery in Valbuena de Duero (Valladolid) in 1988 with a clear objective: to create quality wines using the most advanced technology while respecting traditional winemaking methods. The main challenge undertaken by Carlos Moro was his commitment to new barrels for aging his wines, an initiative that was novel at the time in Ribera del Duero. Another key to Matarromera's success is its excellent vineyards, located in a legendary area of the D.O. Ribera del Duero: Valbuena de Duero.
Matarromera was the first winery of Carlos Moro and the seed of one of the most important wine groups in this country: Bodegas Familiares Matarromera. The first red wine produced by the winery—an ancestor of the brand we now know as Melior—achieved the title of "Best Wine in the World" at the International Organisation of Vine and Wine (OIV) competition held in Turkey in 1995. Currently, Bodega Matarromera has 150 hectares of its own vineyards and controls an additional 160 hectares.
