About this Item
Founded in 1980 by Mariano García in memory of his father, Bodegas Mauro is situated halfway along the River Duero, in the town of Tudela. Since the very beginning, Bodegas Mauro has been committed to excellence and producing age-worthy wines that express the quality and identity of their terroir. The property’s vineyards are spread across 90 hectares with an average vine age of 35 years and yields of between 3,000 – 5,000 kilograms per hectare. The grapes are grown on bush vines and planted on light, easy-to-work calcareous clay soils. The estate’s top-quality, limited-production reds are well known for their balance, elegance and long ageing potential.
Critics Ratings
‘The 2006 Mauro V.S. (Vendimia Seleccionada) is 100% Tempranillo that makes a giant step up in richness compared to the Mauro cuvee. It also displays notable freshness which Garcia attributes to the significant temperature variance between daytime and nighttime. It exhibits a jammy confiture of black fruits in an opulent, liqueur-like frame. It will easily evolve for another 6-8 years and see its 20th birthday in fine form.’ - Jay S Miller, Wine Advocate, 95+/100 (May 2011)
‘Firm and focused, this red offers plum, berry, vanilla, espresso and mineral flavors that mingle harmoniously in a solid frame of tannin and acidity. A modern style, but well-grounded. Tempranillo.’ - Thomas Matthews, Wine Spectator, 92/100 (Oct 2011)
