The estate and the wine
The estate and the wine Bodegas Cenicero never ceases to surprise us: this little wunderkind of purity and fruity character, with its insolent freshness, has swept everyone off their feet. It's one of our top 5 best value wines in Spain. Their 20 hectares of vineyards are divided into 9 plots with different soils and microclimates. This ensures a highly complex production process that allows the terroir to reveal itself. In this region of Rioja, where Tempranillo has long been cultivated, Fincas Cienvacas (the 100-cow farm) continues this tradition with talent and panache! Don't miss this Rioja novelty!
Wine The 2022 red Rioja Alta Finca Cienvacas is a feat of style; this Tempranillo, aged without the use of wood, guarantees maximum freshness. Fresh fruit, a touch of pepper, perfect ripeness: this is a masterful red, with a modern temperament, served by a harmonious, velvety texture, with a fleshy, nicely acidic mid-palate. From an altitude terroir of clay and gravel, it offers the best price-pleasure equation of the moment. For today... or even in the next five years! Rated 93/100 by the Committee.
Vinification Traditional vinification. Fermentation in open vats, with regular pumping-over. Aged 100% in stainless steel vats.
