Bodegas Cepa 21 HITO Ribera del Duero ROSE 2023 750ml

Producer Notes

The Spanish word “Hito” means milestone — a stonepost used to indicate direction or distance on roads, or to delimit fields. A clean, bright pale pink in color, the nose reveals sweet, fruity aromas of ripe strawberries, red currants, and rose florals. On the palate, it is refreshing, balanced, and lively with a good acidity that makes it easy to drink. A benchmark rosé from one of Ribera del Duero’s most celebrated producers.

Expert Reviews — Vintage 2023

• Wine Enthusiast 90 pts | Medium apricot in color with a bouquet of Seckel pear, white peach, and a touch of flint. Hints of floral and smoke combine with brilliant acidity and flavors of nectarine, Honeycrisp apple, Turkish delight, and dried thyme. A delightful pour.
