Bodegas Emilio Moro 'La Felisa', Ribera del Duero, Spain 2023

Description

“La Felisa” is named after Emilio Moro’s mother and represents the family’s dedication to tradition, authenticity, and forward-looking viticulture. It’s a certified organic, no-added-sulfites expression of Ribera del Duero, crafted entirely from Tempranillo (Tinto Fino). The 2023 vintage continues to showcase purity and elegance while remaining faithful to the estate’s hallmark style.

In the glass, it’s an intense, youthful purple-ruby. Aromas leap forward with fresh blackberry, blueberry, and dark cherry, interwoven with violet, Mediterranean herbs, and a touch of cocoa. On the palate, it’s vibrant and fruit-driven, yet refined — juicy black fruit is framed by fine tannins and bright acidity. The absence of added sulfites allows the fruit and terroir to shine with striking clarity. The finish is clean, long, and softly spiced.
