La Revelía 2021, El Zarzal 2022 and Polvorete 2023 are the perfect companions to toast those friendships, those adventures and those memories that take us back to the place where we’re happy.
Summer and memories. These two words are so intimately related that when you use them in the same sentence, you unwittingly reveal the secret of true happiness. Remembering summers of ice-creams in the square, of the most intense friendships, being the hero of the best adventures and even living that first love, makes returning to the place that once made us happy a vital pleasure.
Bodegas Emilio Moro, a 100-year-old family winery that aims to be a meeting point to bring people joy, wants to accompany you on this journey to toast those friendships, those adventures and those memories that you’ll never forget.
Enjoy the summer with Bodegas Emilio Moro
“Every summer of my childhood I counted the days to pack my bags and go to Pesquera with all my family and friends”. Héctor Moro, marketing director and member of the fourth generation of Bodegas Emilio Moro, takes us back to the summers of his childhood, acknowledging that, on holidays, there was no lack of smiles or the excitement of reunions, the desire to make plans and the nights under the stars in the surrounding vineyards. “But, to this day, the feeling is the same. When we always want to return to the same place, it is because something important inside us is awakened by being there, and that, without a doubt, gets us hooked”.
To enjoy all those plans that make summer one of the most special seasons of the year, Bodegas Emilio Moro presents its three Godellos made in DO Bierzo as the best companions to live this time of the year to the fullest.
Polvorete 2023, the most youthful Godello of Bodegas Emilio Moro. A fun and rebellious white perfect for enjoying a summer dinner with friends. Fresh, easy to drink, yet full of nuances. It radiates joy and can accompany any meeting, demonstrating that, despite being the youngest, the land of El Bierzo has a lot to offer. Suggested accompaniment: rice salad, ceviche and tuna tartar.
El Zarzal 2022, bright, expressive and balanced. The perfect wine to seduce the most demanding palates. Honouring its variety, it respects the identity of the Godello grape without renouncing freshness. Suggested accompaniment: scorpion fish pie and rice with rabbit and mushrooms.
La Revelía 2021 is sophistication, it’s structure, it’s complexity. This is Bodegas Emilio Moro’s most special Godello, characterised by a unique personality, being the maximum expression of the Godello varietal character. Subtle, suggestive and complex, with ageing over lees in barrels that give it body and richness. This is a wine that, while presiding over a table, becomes the highlight of any conversation, thanks to its nuanced bouquet of ripe stone fruit and dried flowers. Suggested accompaniment: prawn carpaccio with soya and duck breast with mojo and apple parmentier.
Summer in the village, life at its best
Bodegas Emilio Moro is located in the heart of the Ribera de Duero, in a prime area of the ‘Golden Mile’, in Ponferrada, a hidden paradise full of charm, breathtaking landscapes and exquisite cuisine.
It is the family of Bodegas Emilio Moro themselves who tell us how fortunate they feel to have the opportunity to always return to the place where they feel really happy, in their case, their village, their home. This is what they wanted to reflect in the video where they present their three Godellos as an essential part of the summer.
While uncorking a bottle of Polvorete 2023, Patricia Sánchez Moro, general manager and member of the fourth generation of Bodegas Emilio Moro, together with Héctor Moro, tells us that they are very happy to be able to come back every summer. “It’s clear that if you don’t have it, you don’t miss it, but life in our villages is very full.” Thinking back and ‘’drawing on‘’ their most special memories, Patricia and Héctor highlight what they like most about spending their holidays in their homeland, ‘’the first thing that comes to mind: spending time with family and friends‘’. Both admit that the tranquillity they enjoy these days is a privilege, and although they both love to drive, walking everywhere without having to look for a parking space seems to them a real blessing. “That the biggest traffic jam we encounter is the queue to order a wine in one of those afternoon aperitifs that stretch on until siesta time is priceless”. They both laughingly admit that when they return, they are no longer Héctor and Patricia, but the grandchildren of La Feli and Emilio, ‘something we are very used to and which we welcome with great affection’, and they add that, ‘the funniest part is the reunion with our childhood friends, with whom we trade those poolside afternoons for afternoons on the terraces or barbecues at sunset’. They haven’t forgotten how nice it is to go out in a jumper, whether for a stroll through the vineyards, an ice cream in the square or just a chat on the front step of the house.
“It’s important to us that the people who know us and visit us feel that they are part of our home, and so this summer we want to be part of those special memories that we, fortunately, can relive summer after summer.”. With these words, Patricia Sánchez Moro invites us to live this summer with intensity, hoping that the three Godellos produced in the DO Bierzo will be part of our summers forever.
