Founded in 2007 by brothers José and Javier Moro, the third generation of Bodegas Emilio Moro, Bodegas Cepa 21 is located on a small promontory surrounded by the vineyards of the estate and with a wonderful view. The vineyards of the estate extend over 50 hectares, on silty sand and clay soils, with a northerly orientation. These factors guarantee a perfect and progressive maturation which results in fresh and complex wines.

Malabrigo, of which only 5,000 bottles are produced each year, is the most iconic wine of Bodegas Cepa 21. This  Tempranillo has an intense colour with cherry red tones and light violet hues. The aromatic profile is broad and complex with notes of ripe black fruits and spices, balsamic aromas, and some hints of coffee. On the palate, the wine is round and enveloping, ripe and balanced. It has velvety tannins and balanced acidity. The finish is long and recalls smoky notes. It goes well with game pâté and roast pork tenderloin with mushrooms.

93 Points - James Suckling

Excellent depth of fruit with fresh blackberries, cocoa powder, minerals, black mushrooms and a touch of graphite. Succulent, flavorful and very firm on the palate, with chalky tannins melting along with the fruit. Full-bodied, tight and long. Drink or hold.
