General Information
Over the years, Mariano García has gained worldwide renown as a winemaker, and his first wine created outside of Vega Sicilia, Mauro, has become one of the most eagerly awaited, vintage after vintage. Mauro 2020 has once again lived up to the expectations of lovers of great wines. It was grown in vineyards located in the municipalities of Tudela de Duero and Traspinedo, and made from the region’s main grape variety, Tempranillo (85%), together with 15% of the international Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah Varieties. It’s been aged for 15 months in French oak casks and barrels of different ages.
Mariano García was a winemaker at Vega Sicilia for almost 30 years. Restless by nature, at the end of the seventies he purchased 4 hectares of old vineyards in Tudela del Duero, which were the basis for his first personal project: Bodegas Mauro.
Bodegas Mauro (1980) was a landmark in Spanish wine due to its innovative concept: wine conceived as a reflection of the environment and land, production from separate plots, limited yields, and smaller harvests to enhance the expression of the fruit. Mariano García currently runs the winery along with his sons Eduardo and Alberto.
Mauro 2020 is a red wine which is perfect with meats such as shoulder of lamb, grilled sweetbreads and roast suckling pig.
Creators' opinion
Fragrant, full of red fruits and freshness, longer than it is broad. Notable for its overall delicacy and lively tannic structure.
The winery
Mariano García, one of the brightest figures in Spanish wine, was the winemaker at Vega Sicilia for nearly 30 years. Restless by nature, in the late seventies, he acquired 4 hectares of old vineyards in Tudela del Duero, which would become the foundation of his first personal project: Bodegas Mauro.
Bodegas Mauro (1980) marked a milestone in Spanish wine for its innovative concept: wine conceived as a reflection of the environment and terroir, separate vinification of plots, yield limitation, shorter aging periods to enhance the expression of the fruit… Currently, Mariano García runs the winery alongside his sons Eduardo and Alberto. Together, they produce the red wines Mauro, Mauro VS, and Terreus, brands so powerful that they do not need the umbrella of a designation of origin. Recently, the white wine Mauro Godello has been added to their catalog.
