Mauro 2018 & 2019

RIBERA DEL DUERO / RED / 2018 & 2019 - 90% TEMPRANILLO, 10% OTHERS

ROBERT PARKER: 94 points (Vintage 2018)

The 2018 Mauro, from a cool and rainy year, is fresher than the 2019. It's a blend of 90 Tinto Fino or Tempranillo and 5% each Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah from certified organic vineyards, and it is fermented in stainless steel with indigenous yeasts and matured in French and American oak barrels and foudres for some 15 months. It's serious and a bit closed, a little more floral and aromatic. It feels younger and less developed than the 2019. It's powerful and has finesse and balance, with depth and complexity.

ROBERT PARKER: 93 points (Vintage 2019)

2019 was a mild and dry year with 20% less rain than 2018. The 2019 Mauro was selected from their 90 hectares of organically farmed vineyards and fermented in stainless steel with indigenous yeasts It is mostly Tempranillo with a touch of
Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah that adds freshness and floral aromas It's a lighter and more approachable vintage than 2018, a more immediate wine, more approachable but in a way less complex
