General Information
Matarromera Gran Reserva 2013 bears the signature of one of the most prestigious Spanish wineries: Matarromera. It is made from Tempranillo grapes from old vines cultivated in a legendary area of Ribera del Duero: Valbuena de Duero, where wines such as Vega Sicilia are born. It underwent a long aging process of 24 months in the finest French and American oak barrels, followed by three more years of rest in the bottle.
At Bodegas Matarromera, some of the best wines in the country are crafted. Founded in 1988 in Valbuena del Duero, the heart of the D.O. Ribera del Duero, it has garnered significant international awards since its inception. Following this winery, the expansion and formation of Bodegas Familiares Matarromera began, one of the most important wine empires in the country, at the forefront of quality wines and led by Carlos Moro.
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.
