New-wave Spain with Bodegas Mauro – Tuesday 16th September

Few wineries encapsulate the concept of new-wave Spain in quite as dynamic fashion as Bodegas Mauro.

Founded in 1980 by Mariano García, former head winemaker at Vega Sicilia, the estate sits in Valladolid, in the heart of Castile and León. Its vineyards lie just outside the boundary of Ribera del Duero, however, and Garcia purposely chose not to seek inclusion in the famous DO – the freedom allowing him to blend Tempranillo with small portions of Syrah and other varieties not permitted under DO rules.

Today the Mauro vineyards span around 80 hectares of mostly Tempranillo and Syrah, along with some Cabernet Sauvignon and Godello, all cultivated at resolutely low yields and vinified plot-by-plot with native yeasts in a mixture of French and American oak. While geographically in the Duero Valley and stylistically close to high-end Ribera and Toro, the wines are officially classified as Vino de la Tierra de Castilla y León.

The range moves from the elegant flagship wine Mauro, to the more structured, ageworthy Mauro VS (Vendimia Seleccionada), sourced from specific parcels. Terreus, meanwhile, is a powerful, expressive single-vineyard cuvée, while the Mauro Godello offers an ofbeat, nuanced rendering of what is an increasingly in-vogue Spanish white.

Mariano’s sons Albert and Eduardo now oversee the wines with similar energy and drive to their father – and we are delighted to welcome Alberto Garcia to the Club for an evening tasting Mauro’s finest.
