Winemaker Carlos Moro has 53 hectares
of vines on the Valdefinjas farm, located 12
kilometres from the centre of the town of
Toro. The farm also grows olives and has
a pine forest. Soils are low in fertility with
clay and calcareous components. Produced
from 100% Tinta de Toro, the Cyan de
Matarromera 2014 was matured for
16 months in oak with 60% American and
40% French barrels and has a distinctly
woody character with nutmeg and cooked
fruit aromas. It is supple with blueberries
and blackberry flavours and a grippy finish.

A succulent and smooth
wine, it has blackberry
and blackcurrant fruit
flavours with a floral
element. It was matured
for twelve months in a
combination of French
and American oak casks
with the oak completely integrated with the
fruit, giving the wine a fine texture. A good
vintage in Ribera del Duero, 2016 was witness
to a mild winter followed by a cool and wet
spring with summer arriving late. When it did
finally arrive, it was hot and dry but tempered
by the cool nights.
