Cepa 21 Bodegas 2023 "Hito" Ribera Del Duero Tempranillo
Tasting Notes
The 2023 “Hito” Tempranillo from Cepa 21 Bodegas is a vibrant and youthful expression of Ribera del Duero’s signature grape, Tinto Fino. This single-varietal red wine is aged for eight months in French oak barrels, which lends it subtle complexity while preserving its fresh, fruit-forward character. In the glass, it displays a cherry-red hue with violet reflections. The nose is intense and layered, offering aromas of ripe red berries, plum, and hints of licorice, complemented by delicate notes of vanilla and spice from the oak. On the palate, it is full-bodied yet elegant, with a smooth texture and balanced acidity that carries flavors of blackberry, cherry, and a touch of cocoa through a lingering finish.
This Tempranillo pairs beautifully with a variety of dishes, particularly grilled meats such as lamb chops or beef tenderloin, as well as roasted poultry and hearty stews. Its fruit-driven profile and subtle spice make it a great match for Spanish tapas like chorizo, jamón ibérico, and manchego cheese. It also complements vegetarian fare such as mushroom risotto or eggplant parmigiana, and its structure allows it to stand up to rich tomato-based pasta dishes.
