La Felisa was created in 2016 to honour Felisa Espinosa, the most important woman at Bodegas Emilio Moro. Mother and grandmother of the third and fourth generation of the Moro family. But it also pays homage to how wines were made in the past: a wine with a more primary and rustic character. La Felisa is a different wine that tries to evoke the memories that the third generation had when their parents, Emilio and Felisa, were making wine.
Felisa comes from high-altitude areas, where aeration is abundant and the health of the grapes is optimal, which allows for viticulture with hardly any phytosanitary intervention. These areas are dominated by well-drained soils with limited fertility but high viticultural potential.
La Felisa is made from organic grapes, without the use of sulphur, fermented at a controlled temperature and macerated with the skins for 15 days.
A deep, striking purple in colour. The nose is intense, with lots of personality, and notable fresh red and black fruit flavours. Overall a characteristic violet floral aroma stands out, accompanied by hints of citrus and liquorice, giving this wine a surprising and unusual flavour profile. It is full-bodied and structured in the mouth, with well-balanced acidity and a long, fresh, persistent finish.

During the winter the rains were typical, and in the spring the good temperatures accelerated growth, which then slowed down with the arrival of summer. The high temperatures and low rainfall during the summer period lasted until after the grape harvest. These circumstances provided outstanding grape concentration and ripeness. As such, it is a year of wines with a marked personality – full-bodied, with great aromatic density and heft on the palate.
