About Bodegas Mauro
Bodegas Mauro is located in the Duero river valley at Tudela, a few miles to the south of the city of Valladolid. Because of this location, and the presence of a few old Grenache vines, Mauro is not part of the Ribera del Duero control of origin. No matter, the wine has established a worldwide reputation without the distinction. Mauro was created in the 1970s by Luciano Suarez, an architect, specialized in the restoration of medieval monuments, and Felix Choque, cousin of Mariano Garcia, the former winemaker at Vega Sicilia, who has been and remains the chief winemaker. Their objective: to rival the best in Spain. In this, they are very successful. The vineyards cover 30 hectares with 90% Tempranillo, 5% Grenache, and 5% Syrah. Many of the vines are 60 years old and more. Vinification and aging are in the classic French manner with maturation in new or 1 year old French and American oak casks. Further aging takes place in the bottle and no wine is released before aging for at least three years; all this under the watchful eye of Mariano Garcia and his sons. The style is classic Ribera del Duero with a dark rich colour, a gorgeous bouquet showing great class, and a perfect balance between the oak and rich black fruit. On the palate, Mauro has a smooth style, silky texture, and the distinction to rival a great Bordeaux Classified Growth.
