The wine
A young wine, made from the grapes grown on its youngest vines, yet nevertheless not devoid of the quality which the Emilio Moro hallmark always delivers.
Finca Resalso is the name of a vineyard planted in 1932, the year Emilio Moro was born.
What does this wine taste like?
Finca Resalso is a wine that seeks to show the spirit and expressivity of the young vines, appearing a lovely Picota cherry colour with a vivid crimson rim and tears slow to slide down. The first olfactory sensation is unusual, and stimulating too. There's no perception of the over-ripe fruit and vanilla notes so often found in Ribera del Duero wines: it exudes spicy and floral aromas, hints of olive groves and undergrowth. The oak slowly makes its way through, in the form of glimmers of coffee and sweet spices, but always subordinate to the intensity of some exceptional and juicy bramble fruit. The entry is very fresh — in fact the whole wine is — from start to finish; the toasty notes hit the centre of the tongue while the acidity glides along the sides. Lactic traces, thoroughly pleasant and rounded tannins and a full-on, harmonious finish that leaves a lush touch and shows an authentic Ribera character.
