Tasting notes
Attractive ripe cherry red color with intense garnet rim, reflecting brightness, brilliance, and good depth to the eye.
On the nose, its clear hints of India ink and impressive freshness.
On the palate, the extraordinary persistence of its flavor can be highlighted. With a finish marked by the spicy notes typical of French oak barrels, such as clove and thyme.
Creators' opinion
Matarromera Prestigio es la concepción de uvas del emblemático terroir de Matarromera, el Pago de las Solanas. Parcela de suelo muy calizo y acusada pendiente de orientación sur, cercana al 20%. La excelente insolación y su situación en un peculiar estrechamiento del valle del Duero, que concentra cada día los vientos de convección, hace única a esta parcela.
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.
