About the Winery
Bodegas Cepa 21 is one of the most renowned wineries in Ribera del Duero. The Moro family, along with some of its closest friends, founded this acclaimed winery, which manages to combine the traditional and the avant-garde on the same site in a dual commitment to quality wine and wine tourism. With a great understanding of the origin and composition of the soils, the winery is able to take better care of the environment, the wines and, above all, the soils themselves.
