| Description: | Winemaker Notes\r\n\r\nA wine with roots anchored in the winemaking tradition of the Ribera del Duero, but with an innovative vocation. Cepa 21 is the wine chosen by the third generation of the Moro family to represent their passion for making wine in an ideal enclave.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nThe flagship wine that carries the name of the project is currently the 2016 Cepa 21, produced with youngish Tempranillo matured in French barrique for 12 months. It has some spicy and smoky notes from the \u00e9levage in oak, which gives it a showy profile. It's ripe without excess with a sweetness of fruit that coats the palate and makes it a bit jammy. There are plenty of tannins to stand up to food. 420,000 bottles produced.\r\nRobert Parker 90 Points\r\nAbout Bodegas Cepa 21\r\nBodegas Cepa21 was born in 2002 from the passion, heritage and know-how of the third generation of the Moro family. The vineyards are found in a northern orientation valley with a colder terroir from where the Family started planting vineyards.\r\nLocated in Castrillo de Duero, a village of Valladolid in the heart of the Ribera del Duero region, the area is known as the \u201cThe Golden Mile\u201d because of Its Terroir combining extreme climate conditions, varied soils and orography of the valley.\r\nThe Winery has 50 hectares grafted with the pure clone of Tempranillo (Tinto Fino) from the oldest vineyards that the Family planted.\r\nThe Family aims to produce wines that respect the terroir and the variety, that are characterized by the intensity and the structure, but also by the freshness and finesse. There is a more modern focus on winemaking, showing more the fruit characteristics. To do this, each wine comes from different vineyards, where Hito is produced out of vineyards in the foothills of the valley, at 2,400 feet, Cepa 21 from vineyards in the middle of the slope, at 2,700 feet. Malabrigo and Horcajo come from two vineyards in the high plateau at 3,000 feet. The wines are vinified according to the parcels to show the terroir potential. |
