Winemaker Notes

Clear and precise expression of red fruit with an earthy background. Refined, sleek and fresh on the palate, firm but polished tannins along with magnificent acidity. Enveloping texture and harmonious structure. Discrete, delicate and very classy. Blend: 90% Tempranillo, 10% Syrah.

Professional Ratings

  • 93
    The 2012 Mauro is produced with 90% Tempranillo and 10% Syrah from different vineyards in the villages of Tudela de Duero, Traspinedo, Santibanez and Quintanilla de Onesimo, where the soils are rich in chalk and clay, with sandy and stony parts. The wine matured in oak barrels for some 16 months and was finally bottled in June 2014. It’s fresher than the 2011, mixing aromas of red and black fruit. The oak is well-integrated, with good balance and a certain elegance. The palate is medium-bodied, with good acidity and highly-polished, fine tannins. A great version of Mauro. Drink 2015-2018.

Bodegas Mauro, Spain
Bodegas Mauro The Winery at Bodegas Mauro Winery Image

Bodegas Mauro was established in 1980 by Mariano García ( Vega Sicilia’s 40 year winemaker) in homage to his father. Enclaved halfway along the River Duero in the Castilian town of Tudela, the Bodegas Mauro philosophy from the very beginning has been based on producing age-worthy wines that are deeply rooted in the territory.

 Bodegas Mauro was the García family’s first of the current trilogy of wineries. It was followed by San Román Bodegas y Viñedos  founded in 1997, under the denomination of origin Toro, and completed with Garmón Continental, a project that began in 2014, in the heart of the Ribera del Duero region and with a winery in Olivares de Duero. Bodegas Mauro possess 90 hectares of vineyards in Tudela de Duero, of mainly the Tempranillo variety which is grown alongside the Syrah grape, which adds freshness and complexity. The new Cabernet Sauvignon plantings at more than 800 metres, guarantee a touch of acidity.

 The plants are trained on bush vines on calcareous clay soil which is light, easy-to-work and filtering with a balanced texture and high pH. With very little water due to the immense evaporation and low rainfall, the vines suffer from major hydric stress, yet this is limited by good deep root development which allows them access to water reserves in the subsoil.

Spanish red wine is known for being bold, heady, rustic and age-worthy, Spain is truly a one-of-a-kind wine-producing nation. A great majority of the country is hot, arid and drought-ridden, and since irrigation has only been recently introduced and (controversially) accepted, viticulture has sustained—and flourished—only through a great understanding of Spain’s particular conditions. Large spacing between vines allows each enough resources to survive and as a result, the country has the most acreage under vine compared to any other country, but is usually third in production.

Of the Spanish red wines, the most planted and respected grape variety is Tempranillo, the star of Spain’s Rioja and Ribera del Duero regions. Priorat specializes in bold red blends, Jumilla has gained global recognition for its single varietal Monastrell and Utiel-Requena has garnered recent attention for its reds made of Bobal.
