Cepa 21 - Ribera del Duero

This 2019 Tempranillo hails from Ribera del Duero, Spain. In 2000, Jose Moro started his winery after planting clones of ancient vines passed down by his father and grandfather. Just two years later, Cepa 21 was born and has since become the winery's flagship. Over the past 20+ years, Bodegas has achieved great success, even getting Jose on the Forbes list of 100 most innovative entrepreneurs. The blend of lime, clay, and stony soils gives this full - bodied Tempranillo balanced acidity to go with the abundant tannins the region is famous for. You'll taste dark cherry, spice, and cedar notes, making it an ideal match for traditional Spanish dishes like paella or roast lamb.

To enjoy this Cepa 21 red wine, simply open the bottle and let it breathe for about 30 minutes before pouring. You can serve it at a slightly cooler room temperature, around 60 - 64°F. This wine pairs perfectly with Spanish dishes like paella or roast lamb. Store the unopened bottle in a cool, dark place. Once opened, re - cork it tightly and keep it in the refrigerator. It's best to finish it within 2 - 3 days to enjoy its full flavor.
