Bodegas Emilio Moro Bierzo Godello El Zarzal
Light yellow straw color. The nose is fresh with notes of ripe peach, white flowers and hints of petrol. On the palate, it maintains its freshness and well-balanced with fruitiness (apple, pear, citrus) and structure (bright acidity). The Moro family has been farming vineyards in the Ribera del Duero since 1932, the birth year of Emilio Moro (the patriarch). For two generations, the grapes were sold on the bulk market. In 1988, current proprietor José Moro Espinosa invested the family’s entire savings into winery equipment and Bodegas Emilio Moro was born.
