2022 Cepa 21 Malabrigo

Cepa 21 Malabrigo 2022 is a polished expression of Castilla y León, showing the modern style and precision that have made Cepa 21 one of Ribera del Duero’s most talked-about names. Crafted to highlight ripe fruit, depth, and structure, it offers a premium red wine experience with clear regional identity and strong cellaring appeal.

Tasting Notes
Deeply colored in the glass, it typically shows a dense ruby core with youthful violet highlights. The nose leans toward black fruit, ripe cherry, and subtle spice, with supporting notes of toasted oak, cocoa, and mineral nuance. On the palate, it is concentrated and generous, with a layered mix of dark berries, plum, and savory oak spice framed by firm tannins and fresh acidity. The finish is long and structured, suggesting very good aging potential over the next several years, where the wine should gain even more complexity and finesse.

Production
While detailed vineyard information is not provided here, Malabrigo is generally associated with carefully selected parcels in Castilla y León, where continental conditions, warm days, cool nights, and well-drained soils help preserve freshness and build concentration. The wine is made with a focus on precision and balance, combining ripe fruit expression with controlled extraction and oak maturation to shape structure and complexity.

Food & Serving
This wine pairs beautifully with grilled lamb, roast pork, beef tenderloin, game dishes, and rich tapas such as ibérico ham or roasted mushrooms. Serve at 16–18°C and consider decanting for 30–60 minutes if drinking young, to allow the aromas and structure to open fully.
