General Information

The new project of Carlos Moro in Rioja continues to bear fruit in the form of spectacular wines. In this case, the renowned businessman and winemaker from Valladolid has enlisted the advice of the prestigious French winemaker Claude Gros to conceive Oinoz By Claude Gros 2015. Claude Gros, who already knows what it is like to obtain 100 points from the critic Robert Parker, has selected the barrels where this single-varietal tempranillo aged for 12 months.

Bodega Carlos Moro is a winemaking project driven by the passion of a viticulturist, winemaker, and winery owner who has successfully imprinted his mark in other equally demanding and prestigious denominations of origin. Located in the town of San Vicente de la Sonsierra, in the heart of Rioja Alta, the new brand of Bodegas Familiares Matarromera aims to become one of the winemaking references in a region where excellence and quality are essential hallmarks of identity, both in their production methods and in their renowned wines.

Oinoz By Claude Gros 2015 (D.O.Ca. Rioja) is an ideal pairing for dishes such as a good beef cheek with apples and prunes.

Tasting notes

Beautiful mature cherry red color with garnet rim.

On the nose, it stands out for its complexity and elegance, initially presenting notes of ripe red fruits (currants and cherries), followed by floral memories and soft notes of toasted and smoked wood, ending with spicy backgrounds of great complexity (anise and vanilla).

On the palate, it stands out for its balance, harmony, and roundness; the passage through the mouth highlights its elegance and smoothness; the mature, fruity, and sweet tannins coat the mouth well while giving volume and expression. The taste sensations convey a great variety of nuances, dominated by a presence of fruit notes very well integrated with the contributions of perfectly integrated French wood. Long final persistence with fruity and softly smoked memories.

The winery

Bodega CM de Matarromera
Founded in 2014 in San Vicente de la Sonsierra, Bodega CM de Matarromera (D.O.Ca. Rioja) is another remarkable project by the renowned Castilian-Leonese winemaker Carlos Moro, owner of Bodegas Familiares Matarromera. This venture was born from Carlos Moro's desire to expand Bodegas Familiares Matarromera and become part of a denomination of origin as prestigious and iconic as Rioja (prior to the creation of Bodega CM de Matarromera, Bodegas Familiares Matarromera included only wineries within the denominations of origin influenced by the Duero River).

A business project aimed at producing high-end wines and sharing the philosophy upon which Bodegas Familiares Matarromera is founded: innovation, respect for sustainability and the environment, and the pursuit of the highest quality. Bodega CM de Matarromera owns 30 hectares of its own vineyards distributed across various plots located in San Vicente de la Sonsierra and Labastida, as well as 60 controlled hectares situated in these towns and Ábalos.

The winery's facilities feature an impressive 300-meter-long underground cellar that houses 2,000 American and French oak barrels. Currently, Bodega CM de Matarromera produces the brands CM and Oinoz (D.O.Ca. Rioja). Additionally, this initiative also includes other select estate wines from symbolic vineyards in other denominations of origin, such as Toro, Rueda, Ribera del Duero, and Cigales.
