Description
Bodegas Mauro Mauro 2020
Bodegas Mauro "Mauro" is the winery's flagship wine. Elegant bouquet of fresh red berries and black fruit with balsamic and spicy nuances. The medium to full-bodied palate is dry with precise yet powerful tannins and a magnificent fresh feel. Savoury ripe red and black fruit flavours with hints of wet earth, black truffles, liquorice, mineral undertones and a real sense of terroir. Closes in a very long finish.
90% Tempranillo and 10% others. The fruit comes from the Tudela de Duero and Traspinedo vineyards in Castilla y León in Spain.
Bottling in April 2021 after 15 months of ageing in barrels and vats of French and American oak of different ages.
AWARDS & ACCOLADES
- 93 POINTS
"
2019 was a mild and dry year with 20% less rain than 2018. The 2019 Mauro was selected from their 90 hectares of organically farmed vineyards and fermented in stainless steel with indigenous yeasts. It is mostly Tempranillo with a touch of Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah that adds freshness and floral aromas. It's a lighter and more approachable vintage than 2018, a more immediate wine, more approachable but in a way less complex."
