RATINGS

96The Wine Advocate

There is amazing finesse and balance, the oak is beautifully integrated and the wine is floral and terribly pleasant. They did a softer vinification with a shorter maceration, and they used less new oak. It all paid off.

96Jeb Dunnuck

...fabulous sense of elegance and purity as well as full-bodied richness, assorted blacker fruits, and complex notes of graphite, crushed stone, spice box, and violets. It offers ample concentration, yet it shines just as much for its purity of fruit, silky tannins, and flawless balance.

95Vinous / IWC

Shows a suave blend of depth and energy to the sharply focused black raspberry, cherry vanilla, star anise and candied violet flavors, which deepen and become sweeter with aeration.

PRODUCER

Bodegas Mauro

Bodegas Mauro was established in 1978 in Valladolid. The 150 acres of vineyards produce about 240,000 bottles annually. The wines are a blend of mostly Tinta de Toro and some Grenache. The prestige cuvee is the Terreus, which is produced only in outstanding vintages. But all the wines usually earn ratings in the 90s from reviewers.

REGION

Spain, Castilla-Leon

Castilla y León, as this region is called in Spanish, is a large region in northeastern Spain that includes nearly twenty percent of Spain’s total land. It encompasses eight provinces and five appellations. The best known of the appellations is Ribera del Duero, though the appellations Toro and Bierzo are also gaining international reputations for fine wine. The region is largely a high, flat plateau and red grapes account for much of what is grown in Ribera del Duero. The other appellations are Rueda, known for white wine, and Cigales. Bierzo is known for the full flavored white wine Godello.
