Bodegas Venta Morales Vino De La Tierra De Castilla Tempranillo 2020 750 ML

Deepness and aromatic purity in a wine of extreme finesse and freshness. Broad, delectable, with a powerful but flexible tannic structure. \n \n Producer Information \n Bodegas Mauro is a well-regarded wine producer based in Tudela de Duero and making wines under the regional Vino de la Tierra de Castilla y León title, some 190km (120 miles) northwest of Madrid. Located just outside the Ribera del Duero wine region, Bodegas Mauro has been in operation since 1978 with a cellar dating back to the 17th Century. Since 2004, the wine production process has been carried out in Bodegas Mauro's upgraded facility (also in Tudela). The winery vineyards in Tudela de Duero and Santibáñez de Valcorba cover an area of 80 hectares (198 acres) and are planted to two grape varieties: Tempranillo and Syrah. The vines experience high diurnal temperature changes and produce low yields of high quality grapes. On average, the vines are between 20 and 30 years old and are not treated with any man-made chemicals like herbicides and pesticides. The grapes are hand-harvested and blocks or picks are generally fermented individually. The fermentation and maceration processes combined can last between 2-3 weeks, depending on the vintage. Bodegas Mauro's wines are then aged in oak barrels, 75 percent of which are made from French oak, and the remaining 25 percent from American oak. Bodegas Mauro produces four signature wines under the regional Viño de la Tierra title: Mauro, a Tempranillo – Syrah blend, Mauro VS and Terreus, both Tempranillo, and a white wine made of Godello. Each wine and vintage is aged according to the vineyard, maturity of the vines and the wine's own distinctive character. The winery makes up to 280,000 bottles annually, with the majority of these sold to the Spanish national market and the remainder exported to approximately 55 countries worldwide. Tudela del Duero has a long and illustrious winemaking history, and was even made exempt from taxes in 1562 by the King of Spain due to the quality of its wines.
