The history of Bodegas Emilio Moro dates back three generations. The grandfather of the third generation of Emilio Moro was born in 1891, and his son, Emilio Moro, was born in 1932. Both were born into a wine growing environment, surrounded by vineyards. They grew up treading grapes in their hometown of Pesquera de Duero in the province of Valladolid.
Emilio Moro instilled in his son a love of wine and his son, in turn, passed this on to the third generation, who currently manage the winery.
Innovation was born in our wineries when Emilio Moro planted the Tinto Fino Clone, differentiating us forever. From that moment on, we've not stopped innovating. From the development of indigenous yeasts, digital field notebooks, drones and geolocation in the vineyard, to our flagship sensing project, Sensing4Farming.
In addition, there is a film commitment to innovation in communication, and the creation of a culture of innovation that involves all stakeholders in our value chain.
Deep cherry red in color with a garnet rim. On the nose, it is intense and elegant, with a base of ripe fruits that blends with the subtle tertiary aromas of sweet spices and cocoa. On the palate, it is balanced, full-bodied but with sweet and pleasant tannins, with a long and very persistent aftertaste.

#32 Wine Spectator Top 100 of 2023
Delicate red in color. The incredibly expressive bouquet offers notes of sandalwood, herbs de Provence, and Red Delicious apples. On the palate, freshly picked red huckleberries provide tart and lasting succulence with a hint of baking spice. The sandy soils of the Chehalem Mountains offer salinity and minerality on the finish that is complemented with dark cherry and rhubarb.
Review:
Supple, richly textured and elegantly complex, this Pinot opens with a burst of fresh raspberry, then unfolds with notes of forest floor and brown baking spices, plus a touch of licorice as it builds tension toward refined tannins.

The first impression of this stunning red is of brilliant red raspberry fruit, as pure as a sunbeam. Yet an inky depth plays counterpoint, rumbling beneath, dark and a bit spicy, grounding the fruit with tannins from the silica-based soils of Bergström’s estate vineyard in the Chehalem Mountains. The tension between these two elements is gorgeous, the fruit saturating and full, and yet it has an energy and drive giving the texture a lifted, graceful feel.

Maysara Asha Pinot Noir is made from 100 percent Pinot Noir
22 months in 40% new French oak barrel
Asha is an ancient Persian Word describing one who has a clean conscience for good thoughts, words, and deeds with a pure demeanor and performance.
A bejeweled glassful of garnets, Asha snakes onto your palate with amarena cherries, clove and a tantalizing whisp of … what is that? A distant campfire? Elegant and slippery tannins sway to a tune played upon vanilla violins.

Pair with dishes that utilize slow braised meats, something with complex layers of spices and caramelization, as the mid-palate is ensorcelled with lively acidity and don't forget those tannins!
