Matarromera Reserva 2015 - Mágnum - 150cl

If there is one thing that characterises Bodega Matarromera, it is its ability to produce wines for ageing in the Ribera del Duero region. The key to producing Matarromera red wines lies in the raw material: the red grapes from the Golden Mile of Ribera del Duero used to make our red wines are of the highest quality and respect the identity of the wine, vintage after vintage, making Matarromera Reserva a benchmark. 

What does Bodega Matarromera do? Analysing, classifying and pampering each and every one of its plots according to their agroclimatic characteristics, through the implementation of a project called San Bernardo.

The winery chose this name in honour of the monks of the Monastery of San Bernardo, as it was they who, in the 11th century, brought the method of classifying vineyards from Burgundy in order to gain an in-depth understanding of the characteristics of each plot. The Duero Valley is an area of enormous natural and heritage wealth in a privileged enclave of the Ribera del Duero. Here you will find the Monastery of Santa María de Valbuena, the origin of viticulture in this Designation of Origin.

For its reserve wines, Bodega Matarromera selects vineyards with the following characteristics:

1. Vines that are over 25 years old and have moderate vegetation, which produce smaller bunches and grapes. Why? The concentration of colour, polyphenols and other beneficial properties of the grape is higher. In short, less quantity but higher quality. Less is more! These types of vines are found mainly at higher altitudes.

2. Limestone soils located at an altitude of over 750 metres. As we have been saying, one of the greatest influences on a wine is the soil where the vineyard is planted. Limestone is a type of calcareous rock that allows good water drainage and produces full-bodied wines suitable for ageing.
