General Information
The close relationship between Bodegas Familiares Matarromera’s managers and Vinoselección for several decades allows us to team up to create exclusive wines like Matarromera Club 2021. It’s taken many years learning about each of their different projects from vineyard to glass to get this far.
Bodega Matarromera and what is now known as Bodegas Familiares Matarromera started out in 1988, a wine group that has become one of the most prominent in the country and owns wineries in various parts of Spain.
To make this exclusive wine, the best Tempranillo bunches were picked by hand in small crates. After being transferred to the winery, they underwent a traditional process at a controlled temperature in stainless steel vats. The resulting wine was then aged for a year in French and American oak barrels and has been further matured in the bottle before being offered to you.
Tasting notes
Attractive ripe cherry-red with an intense maroon edge, bright and brilliant; good depth of colour in the glass.
Complex, elegant nose with prominent notes of ripe black fruits (blueberries and plums) that give way to hints of fine woods (cedar) and a subtle touch of smoke and dark-roast coffee, followed by complex touches of vanilla and clove together with elegant balsamic nuances.
Elegant, balanced and flavoursome on the attack. Good structure on mid-palate with high-quality tannins that give it a silky, expressive mouthfeel. Fruity notes combine with spicy and smoky flavours. Complex, lingering finish, enhanced by the reappearance of ripe black fruits.
Creators' opinion
2021 was an outstanding vintage for offering you this Matarromera Club 2021 and making it coincide with a very special celebration – Vinoselección’s 50th anniversary. Like all these wines, it’s a Tempranillo that lives up to its prestigious name, reflecting the excellence and quality of the wines produced in our Valbuena de Duero winery. The name Matarromera was coined many years ago to describe an aim and is above all a plot, a unique terroir, a distinctive brand with a well-established reputation for quality that is identified and positioned on the basis of its attributes and values. This exclusive wine reflects the character of the limestone soils of the foothills of the middle valley of the Duero, the result of the good work of Matarromera in an excellent year, 2021, when the good ripening of the grapes in a hot summer produced a long-lasting vintage with excellent concentration.
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.
