General Information
Matarromera has become one of the leading names on the Spanish wine scene. It started out when the firm was established back in 1988, and it’s now an essential winery for getting to know Ribera del Duero wines and the cornerstone of the Bodegas Familiares Matarromera group.
In 2020, following a long track record of successful wines and business ventures, it brought out Matarromera Esencia, the wine we’re now offering you. This red involved completely overhauling the winery to adapt to the more sustainable winemaking of the future and brings together several vintages in a unique wine produced in limited quantities – less than 4,000 bottles.
Indeed, Matarromera Esencia, made wholly from Tempranillo grapes, is the most ambitious wine in the firm’s history, the result of Carlos Moro’s constant pursuit of excellence. A red that combines complexity, a full range of aromas and winemaking knowhow.

Creators' opinion
‘The true essence of a winery is concealed in its vineyards, its barrels and its people… This wine is a tribute to all we have been and all we will be, because to be able to understand the future we need to have learned from our past. This unique wine is a blend of great wines from all these years, which have now been merged in Matarromera Esencia.’
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.
