Vinification

"Hand harvested grapes. Fermentation in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature with prolonged maceration to ensure the adequate extraction of tannins and all the aromatic potential. Ageing in hybrid barrels made from American oak (staves) and French oak (heads) for 28 months, followed by 36 months in bottle"

What experts say about this wine

100

James Suckling

Bitter chocolate, raspberries, blackberries, spice box and some spearmint on the nose. Complex and flavorful, with a medium to full body, a firm tannin frame, and a lengthy, compact finish.

COMMENTARY: The 2016 Emilio Moro Gran Reserva is complex and persistent on the palate. TASTING NOTES: This wine offers aromas and flavors of licorice, pencil lead, and oaky notes. Pair it with a well-marbled grilled ribeye.
