Vino de la Terra de Castilla y Leon Mauro Mauro 1998

The wine

Mauro is a very elegant and harmonious wine – structured, balanced and silky. On the nose it reveals notes of ripe dark fruits, with a touch of spice, and empyreumatic aromas. The palate has the same ripe fruity notes, tannins, and a nice acidic quality to give it a good ageing potential.

About the Producer Mauro

Bodegas Mauro was founded in 1978 with a philosophy of producing wines for cellaring in limited quantities. The vines are a powerful reflection of the Castilla y Leon terroir, but retain a fine richness. Located fewer than 20 kilometres from Valladolid, near Tudela de Duero, and virtually surrounded by the eponymous river, these 70 hectares of Tempranillo and Syrah are cultivated without the use of pesticides. The wine owes its character to the very continental climate of the region, with its cold winters and hot summers, and significant temperature fluctuations between day and night.
