Bodegas Mauro winery
Bodegas Mauro, founded in 1980 by Mariano García, stands as a family-owned winery rooted in the village of Tudela de Duero, within the province of Valladolid, Spain. The winery was established following Mariano's departure from Vega Sicilia, where he had served as technical director for three decades. Named in honor of his father, Mauro García, the winery embodies a deep respect for tradition and a commitment to producing wines of character and elegance.
The estate encompasses over 80 hectares of vineyards, predominantly planted with Tempranillo, the emblematic grape of the region, alongside smaller parcels of Syrah and other varieties. The vineyards are situated in Tudela de Duero and Santibáñez de Valcorba, where the soils are characterized by limestone and clay, providing an ideal environment for cultivating grapes with depth and complexity. The vines, some of which are over 35 years old, are tended with meticulous care, employing sustainable viticultural practices that emphasize respect for the land and minimal intervention.
In the cellar, Bodegas Mauro combines traditional techniques with modern innovation. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks, allowing for precise temperature control, while aging is conducted in a selection of French and American oak barrels. This approach ensures that each wine achieves a balance of fruit expression, structure, and subtle oak influence. The winery’s philosophy centers on producing wines that reflect the unique terroir of their vineyards, with a focus on elegance, freshness, and longevity.
The portfolio of Bodegas Mauro includes several acclaimed wines. The flagship Mauro is a blend dominated by Tempranillo, notable for its intense color, aromatic complexity, and refined tannins. Mauro Vendimia Seleccionada represents a selection of the best grapes from exceptional vintages, offering greater concentration and aging potential. The winery also produces Mauro Godello, a white wine from the Godello grape, sourced from vineyards in the Bierzo region, and San Román, a separate project in Toro, which showcases the power and richness of the Tinta de Toro grape.
Under the guidance of Mariano García and his sons, Eduardo and Alberto García, Bodegas Mauro continues to evolve while maintaining its core values. The family’s hands-on involvement ensures continuity in quality and style, with a shared vision of crafting wines that are both expressive and approachable. The winery has garnered international recognition, with its wines distributed to over 50 countries and consistently receiving high ratings from critics and wine publications.
