If you know how to listen, it speaks to you, it lets you know when it needs racking and rest. It’s just like a living creature that we have to understand, tend to and care for,” said Emilio Moro, founder of the estate that bears his name. Three generations later, this philosophy continues under José and Javier Moro in the world-famous village of Pesquera de Duero, Ribera del Duero. The brothers focus on creating wines with individuality and personality, rejecting traditional classifications such as Crianza and Reserva. Their portfolio includes cherished reds from Tinto Fino, a prized clone of Tempranillo, and vibrant whites from Godello in Bierzo.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-start=\"699\" data-end=\"716\"\u003eViticulture\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"717\" data-end=\"954\"\u003eThe wine bearing the Moro name is the flagship of the estate.
