Análisis de cata

A balanced vintage

The 2018 vegetative cycle began with an extraordinarily rainy April and May, which caused a slight delay in budding. The rainfall sat below the historical levels during the summer months, which helped to balance the vegetative cycle of the vines. The temperatures were very close to normal for the region, except during the last stage of ripening when they were above average, bringing optimal ripeness levels and great balance in the grapes.

A great wine to enjoy for decades to come

To make Emilio Moro Clon de la Familia and to achieve the characteristics that make it an unequalled Ribera del Duero, we make a selection of the best vines from the Moro family winery’s vineyards with the most personality. We work on the basis of a combination of two plots:

Cornalvo, which is a south-facing slope, which means more hours of sunshine, more warmth, riper aromas, more moderate acidity and richer wines.
La Mira, a plot located in one of our best areas: the páramo, situated at an altitude of 900 m above sea level. At this altitude we find lower temperatures and at the same time, greater thermal contrast.

With these two plots we managed to capture the character of the large clay soils of Pesquera de Duero, with the singularities of the limestone and stony soils, the Mediterranean character of the south-facing slopes and the continentality of the páramos. All this with the aim of preserving in a bottle all the goodness that our Clon de la Familia has to offer.

It then undergoes 26 days of maceration in small capacity tanks, malolactic fermentation and ageing in exclusive French oak barrels. This ageing in exclusive barrels respects the aromas of the fruit and the land from which it comes, expressing tradition, character and passion.

The ripe fruit is perfectly integrated with the wood.

Deep garnet-red in colour, the bouquet is intense and extraordinarily complex, full of delicate nuances of red and black fruits. The evolution in the glass is excellent, revealing its fruity base and complexity. On the palate it is intense and silky with a powerful tannin. It has a warm, fruity and very pleasant finish.

Historia y medallón

Throughout the history of its three generations, the Moro family has been selecting the best adapted vines with the greatest oenological potential from its vines, and from them they chose the healthiest and most productive shoots from which their buds were used to graft new vines. This is how Bodegas Emilio Moro’s Clon de la Familia was born. A selection of the most exclusive vineyards and with the most differentiating characteristics to make a powerful, elegant wine with a unique personality. Clon de la Familia is a wine to impress and dazzle.
