VINEYARD NOTES
The grapes used for Mauro VS come from old vines situated in Tudela de Duero and Traspinedo, within the province of Valladolid. These low-yield vineyards lie at elevations of 700-800 meters and are planted on calcareous clay soils with good drainage. The continental climate with marked temperature variations favors optimal phenolic ripening, ensuring wines of great concentration, structure, and complexity.
TASTING NOTES
Mauro VS offers an intense and layered bouquet with aromas of ripe blackberries, plums, licorice, and subtle balsamic and spice notes from its oak aging. On the palate, it is full-bodied, with silky tannins and a deep core of dark fruit, graphite, and toast. The finish is long and harmonious, revealing great balance and aging potential. This wine benefits from decanting and pairs well with red meats and aged cheeses.
