General Information
Matarromera Pago de las Solanas 2010 is the crown jewel of Carlos Moro's winery, a bold red wine made from a carefully selected harvest of grapes from 1.10 hectares of the vineyard that gives it its name, a small sloping vineyard of tinto fino planted on calcareous loamy soils, at an altitude of 740-820 meters, producing fewer than 4,000 bottles.
The origins of Grupo Matarromera date back to 1988, with the original winery that gives its name to the wine empire, located in the town of Valbuena de Duero, the seed from which, in just twenty years, one of the most prominent winemaking groups in Castilla y León emerged, and, moreover, the only one with wineries in Ribera del Duero, Cigales, Toro, and Rueda. The main architect and driving force behind this winery group is Carlos Moro, who comes from a family with a long winemaking tradition in the area.
Pago de las Solanas is a wine that stands among the best in this country, ideal for enjoying on its own or paired with roasted meats, game dishes, foie, jamón ibérico, or even chocolate.
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.
