The 2009 Malleolus de Sanchomartin was tasted from a barrel sample. Opaque purple in color with lovely floral aromas, Asian spices, and incense, on the palate it effortlessly combines power with elegance. It has superb grip, great volume, and plush, succulent fruit. It has the structure to evolve for 8-10 years and should drink well through 2040. Malleolus de Sanchomartin is sourced from a vineyard planted in 1964 with cuttings grafted from the Valderramiro vineyard. Alcoholic fermentation is with indigenous yeasts with ML in barrel. The wine is then aged for 22 months in French oak.
Producer
Bodegas Emilio Moro
Three generations of hard work and dedication have made Emilio Moro one of the leading benchmark bodegas in Ribera del Duero. José Moro continues to work towards his family’s goal of producing high-quality wines, through the commitment and meticulous preservation of the environment. Founded in 1989, their 70-hectare estate consists of four distinct vineyard sites in Pesquera del Duero, each planted with the local grape, Tempranillo. Their wines represent the family’s traditional values, while using the latest technology, crafting some of the best bottles in the appellation. Their Malleolus, made from their oldest vineyards, is a fruit-forward red with traditional ageing characteristics from 18 months in new French oak.
