Viña Garugele Viña Garugele is a red wine from the D.O.Ca. Rioja, produced by Bodega Carlos Moro, part of Bodegas Familiares Matarromera. This wine is made from Tempranillo grapes grown in the Viña Garugele vineyard, a singular vineyard planted in 1940, personally selected by Carlos Moro to craft an exceptional red wine. Winemaking Process The production of Viña Garugele focuses on preserving and enhancing the unique characteristics of the vineyard. • Manual harvesting in boxes, with a double selection process (first by bunch and then grape by grape). • Fermentation with native yeasts, to maintain the typical characteristics of the Serrano terroir. • Aging in oak barrels (80% French oak, 20% American oak) with light toasting, complementing the fruit-forward nature of the Tempranillo grape. • Bottle aging to refine its elegant and noble tannins. Tasting Notes • Color: Deep ruby red. • Aromas: Black and red fruits, with hints of vanilla and spices. • Palate: Elegant and well-balanced, with smooth, well-integrated tannins and a harmonious acidity. • Finish: Long and persistent, with notes of red fruits and spices. Recognition & Production Viña Garugele has been recognized for its high quality and unique character. • Limited production: Only 6,658 bottles made. • The 1.65-hectare vineyard has a low yield, ensuring concentration and quality. • The 2015 vintage has been praised for its elegance and aging potential, with a tannic structure that will soften over time. Viña Garugele is a testament to Bodega Carlos Moro’s Matarromera commitment to excellence, showcasing the uniqueness of its vineyards and the winemaking traditions of Rioja.
