Pairing
Polvorete is a perfect white wine to start an evening, pairing well with all kinds of appetizers, Iberian cured meats, or seafood.
It was in 2016 when Emilio Moro launched his first godello wine. After much experimentation with other varieties, only this grape offered the intensity, versatility, and complexity they were seeking. Additionally, the complex orography of the D.O. Bierzo, its slopes, microclimates, and soil diversity, allows them to produce unique wines with low production but of the highest quality, featuring great acidity and freshness.

Creators' opinion
In appearance, Polvorete is a wine with a pale straw yellow color. On the nose, it is clean and expressive, with pronounced notes of ripe white fruit typical of the variety and citrus nuances that bring freshness. This wine stands out for its palate, with an excellent balance between acidity and creaminess, making it easy to drink while being rich and full-bodied. It has a very pleasant aftertaste that invites you to drink it again.
Bodegas Emilio Moro is among the wineries that have most contributed to showcasing the excellence of Ribera del Duero wines beyond our borders. It is the story of a family of winemakers with a tradition spanning several generations, who have managed to position their wines among the most highly regarded worldwide; in fact, it was recently nominated for the Best European Winery award by the influential American magazine ‘Wine Enthusiast,’ which recognized it as the best in Spain. Located in Pesquera de Duero, in a privileged enclave of the Ribera del Duero, it is currently led by Javier Moro (president), heir to the love for wine of his grandfather and father, both named Emilio.
This Valladolid-based winery has always been committed to producing wines deeply connected to their terroir, convinced that it is the soil that gives them personality. It owns nearly 400 hectares of its own vineyards, planted and grafted with a clone of tempranillo recovered from its oldest vines, which undoubtedly provides fruits of extraordinary quality, with great color, character, and nuances. Among the most emblematic plots of the winery are Resalso (planted in 1933, the year Emilio Moro, father of the current owners, was born); Valderramiro, with the oldest vines of the winery and the cradle of the great wine Malleolus de Valderramiro; Sanchomartín and Camino Viejo, from which the red wine Malleolus is born.
In 2016, Bodegas Emilio Moro embarked on a new project, for the first time, outside Ribera del Duero, under the Bierzo designation of origin, where they have three labels. Since 2023, they have owned a winery in the area. Currently, they have over 60 hectares dedicated to the godello grape.
