Matarromera Group

Grupo Matarromera se encuentra en su mejor momento en materia de reconocimientos a su política de sostenibilidad y medio ambiente. El pasado mes de mayo recibía de la mano de S.A.R. El Príncipe de Asturias el Premio Europeo de Medio Ambiente a la Pyme más sostenible gracias, fundamentalmente, a la fuerte apuesta del Grupo vitivinícola dedicando más de 7,2 millones a políticas sostenibles, entre otras acciones.

También, el pasado 5 de abril, el periodista especializado en materia de energía renovable, Christopher Coats, publicó un interesante artículo en la revista Forbes, de reconocido prestigio internacional. El texto fue titulado con “El mejor vino Español a través de la Energía Solar”, una afirmación nada arbitraria teniendo en cuenta la reciente trayectoria de este Grupo vitivinícola, (capaz de calcular la huella de carbono en tres de sus productos) en materia de sostenibilidad.

Como desgrana Coats en su reseña, Matarromera ha sabido adoptar un adecuado “enfoque sostenibile para la producción de vino, junto a la innovación, convirtiéndose en la filosofía de esta empresa durante 24 años”.

Matarromera Group has recently extended is wine tourism range by adding a helicopter route for an unforgettable and exclusive journey.

The route starts at the Cuatro Vientos aerodrome, going on to San Lorenzo de El Escorialand crossing the central mountain range via El Alto de los Leones (Puerto de Guadarrama).

After flying over Los Ángeles de San Rafael, you’ll catch a glimpse of the Riofrío Palace and Segovia, at which point you'll circle the city.

The helicopter flies over Villa de Cuéllar, landing in Valbuena de Duero.During the trip you'll see the fields criss-crossed by the Duero River, giving you a real sense of its culture and history. And, most importantly, you'll have a great day gaining an insight into a product created by nature and shaped by man: WINEAfter landing in Olivares de Duero you'll pay a visit to the original Matarromera Group winery, Bodega Rento.Explore the winery on a guided tour and, as the icing on the cake, take a peek at Matarromera Group's most exclusive wine, tasting it directly from the barrel, and experiencing all its strength and soul.

During March 16-20 took place in Madrid the tasting for the tenth Bacchus Awards 2012, organized by the Spanish Union of Tasters.Over one hundred experts, among them sommeliers, winemakers, journalists and Masters of Wine, were in charge of assessing the wines presented, giving Cyan 12 Months a Golden Bacchus

This wine belongs to Cyan, the winery that has Matarromera in the town of Zamora Valdefinjas, and attached to the DO Toro. It is a wine made from 100% grapes from Tinta de Toro vines from 30 to 60 years old. After aging for 14 months in French and American oak has been 20 months in bottle for a full wine in perfect progression to accompany red meats, roasts, game and aged cheeses. This award joins others already achieved by Cyan 12 Months 2004 as a silver medal at the International Decanter.

Bacchus is the only competition that belongs to VINOFED addition to being recognized by the International Organisation of Vine (OIV) and the International Union of Winemakers. Three agencies that make Bacchus a reference worldwide. Again, a Matarromera Group wine has set its mark of quality in an international contest of great prestige.

Grupo Matarromera is one of the exponents of the wine growing sector in general, and in its commitment to sustainability and energy efficiency. Its energy efficiency program and environmental respect are structured through the “Sustainable Matarromera on Plant Earth” project, a sustainable action plan that, last March 8, was awarded the European Environment Prize, Spanish section, granted by the Entorno Foundation and presented by the Prince of Asturias. 

In fact, from the architectural conception of its seven bodegas to the use of natural resources to produce energy and generate a lower environmental impact, the program involves 20 environmental measures whose mission is to reduce CO2 emissions to the atmosphere (currently 3,636 metric tons per year), be energy self-sufficient (maximum production 1.27 million KWh) and to procure an ecological agricultural area, already extended to 20% of its 490 hectares of vineyards, and 100% of its 82 hectares of olive plantations.

Among the activities found at the Emina Wine Interpretation Center (CIVE in Spanish), its central headquarters, is the first integrated sustainability center in the wine making world, and the first wine maker with Aenor certification of the calculation of its carbon footprint, to have an awareness of the real impact the production of three wines have on the environment. Specifically, each bottle of Emina Verdejo emits 829 grams of CO2 equivalent, 1.4kg from Emina 12 months and 1.1 kg from Matarromera Crianza. The next step is to establish procedures to reduce and compensate for emissions in future seasons.
