Group Matarromera is the only group present in the four Destinations of Origin surrounded by the Duero River: Ribera del Duero, Cigales, Toro and Rueda.
In 1994, in the heart of the Ribera del Duero, Grupo Matarromera was created. Since then, it has become one of the most important groups of wineries in Spain, with three wineries in the Ribera del Duero: Matarromera, Emina and Rento, one in the D.O. Cigales, Valdelosfrailes, one in the D.O. Rueda, Emina Rueda and the latest acquisition in Toro, Bodega CYAN. In addition, there is the Distillery del Duero, the only throughout the area.

Also, Matarromera is a great proponent of Oenotourism. They believe in the Wine Tourism as a vital line of business development, empowerment and improvement of the company: a rural hostel, Emina Cottage, and a restaurant, La Espadaña San Bernardo, keeps the philosophy of Grupo Matarromera.
On the other hand, Matarromera has launched its owin olive oil, Emina Picual, produced thanks to the olive trees that the group has planted in Rueda, Cigales and Toro areas.

These tasty tapas by Between the Bread, simply could not be believed.
As with the palate cleansers I tasted at the Portuguese wine tasting I wrote

of the wines by a thousandfold |
