General Information
The wines of Matarromera inevitably come to mind when speaking of one of the most appreciated Spanish wine regions, Ribera del Duero. Matarromera Reserva Mágnum 2015 reflects the excellent work of the winery with its own vineyards in Valbuena de Duero, a legendary area of the D.O. and key to its quality.
Founded by Carlos Moro in 1988 in the D.O. Ribera del Duero, Matarromera achieved almost immediate success and earned the title of “Best Wine in the World” with its first red wine at the International Organisation of Vine and Wine (OIV) competition held in Turkey in 1995. Today, this name is internationally recognized and is one of the most important winery groups, with a presence also in Toro, Cigales, Rueda, and Rioja. Matarromera Reserva Mágnum 2015 is a perfect companion for game dishes such as venison loin with mushroom sauce.
Tasting notes
Matarromera Reserva Mágnum 2015 exhibits a beautiful deep cherry-red color, well covered with a mature hue.
On the nose, it is concentrated, aromatic, and very complex; the initial notes are of black fruits in jam (blueberries and blackberries), noble woods (cedar), and soft toasted and carob hints; later, it unfolds spicy echoes (nutmeg and vanilla) with an elegant balsamic background.
On the palate, it is powerful, meaty, and well-structured with noble and high-quality tannins in the process of integration, providing a broad and voluminous mouthfeel. Long and persistent retronasal pathway with spicy and toasted memories.
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.
