Bodega CEPA 21
Cepa 21 (www.cepa21.com) was born with the aim of becoming a differential project and was built by José Moro’s distinctive ideas, creativity and unique vision. But Jose Moro’s disruptive spirit is in large part the result of his ancestors legacy. More than a hundred years ago, his grandfather chose his own clone of the queen variety (Tempranillo) to achive the unique character of the wines. His grandson, generations later, made innovation one of the driving forces behind his business. The vineyards of Bodgeas Cepa 21 are one of it’s greatest assets. They are located at an altitude between 750 and 900 meter above sea level and face north. Both factors allowed the grape to ripen gradually, giving it complexity and freshness. The project has 50 hectares of it’s own vineyards on soils of silty sand, clay or limestone, most of them very close to the Bodega and were planted with the purest grape from Ribera: Tempranillo. The winery is fully equipped with amazing facilities. They have a tasting room with a beautiful view overlooking the barrel room, a terrace that lookes over the vineyards and this spectacular window that connects the modern and traditional look of the complex is even more impressive. Cepa is pure minimalism and efficiency. In Perswijn (famous winemagazine) this wine has been named one of the best wines from Ribera del Duero, but Wine Spectator also put this wine on the list in The Top 100 Best Ribera Wines.
