This is a very rare and robust red wine made from tempranillo 90% and Syrah. It belongs to the "table wine" category and is from Tudela de Duero in the western part of Ribera del Duero.
BODEGAS MAURO was founded just two years before Ribera del Duero became an officially recognized denomination of origin, and it falls just beyond the DO's official boundaries.
Mauro has been able to define a unique style featuring small productions of fruity yet powerful wines known for their unmistakably Spanish style and an ability to age well.
Renowned winemaker Mariano GarcÃa was the founder and he spent the first 30 years of his career making wines for the mythicical Vega Sicilia winery).
His sons are now captains of the Mauro flagship -- that have earned a devoted following in Spain and beyond for their satisfyingly complex blends of toasted oaky notes and nuances of ripe fruit.
With a continental climate that offers a wildly swinging range of temperatures, this region endures long, bitingly cold winters and hot, dry summers, when sun-scorched days give over to chilled, refreshing nights. The results are grapes with unusual power and aromatic intensity. The soil is mixed, with important mineral deposits that lend Mauro's wine their robust style.
The Mauro 2010 has deep brilliant purple colour. The nose is delicate with ripe cherries and hints of chocolate and tobacco. The taste is just fantastic with a super balance filled with dark fruit, perfect acidity and beautiful tannins. It's just explodes in your mouth and is a truly massive mouthful.
