Bodegas Emilio Moro

The history of Bodegas Emilio Moro stretches across four generations of passion and dedication to winemaking. The story begins in 1891 with the birth of Emilio Moro, the grandfather of the third generation, in Pesquera de Duero, Valladolid, a region now famous for its viticulture. He passed on his love for the land and wine to his son, also named Emilio Moro, born in 1932, who continued the family tradition.

Through perseverance and commitment, the family maintained their vineyards even through difficult periods, such as the Spanish Civil War, when many others abandoned viticulture. Instead of following the trend of planting cereals, Emilio Moro chose to preserve the vines, laying the groundwork for the success of the winery today.

Over the years, the family planted key vineyards such as Pago de Valderramiro in 1924 and Finca Resalso in 1932, further expanding with the addition of Pago de Sanchomartín in 1964. These vineyards produce some of the most notable wines in the Malleolus range.

Now led by the third generation—Javier, Rubi, and Fabiola Moro—the winery continues to thrive, producing exceptional wines that reflect the family's deep connection to the land. Javier, as president, brings his lifelong experience in the vineyards, Rubi focuses on finance, and Fabiola leads the enotourism efforts, welcoming visitors and sharing the family’s rich winemaking history.

At the heart of Bodegas Emilio Moro is a shared belief that wine is not just a product, but an art form—one that speaks to those who listen closely. This philosophy, rooted in the values passed down by their parents Emilio Moro and Felisa Espinosa Castaño, continues to guide the family’s journey, ensuring the legacy of Bodegas Emilio Moro endures for future generations.

Bodegas Emilio Moro is part of the Ribera del Duero Designation of Origin, one of Spain's most important and recognized wine-growing regions. The region’s unique climate and privileged location contribute to the creation of some of the highest-quality wines in the country. The first generation of the Moro family planted various grape varieties, ultimately determining that Tempranillo is the variety best suited to the local climate and soils.

The wines reflect a deep legacy, and only those who share a true passion for winemaking can appreciate the dedication to ensuring each bottle conveys the soul of the terroir and the pure essence of Ribera del Duero and El Bierzo.

As part of Ribera del Duero, Bodegas Emilio Moro captures the region’s climate and special location to create wines that evoke the very origin of the family’s winemaking journey.
