Cepa Lebrel Rioja Isidro Milagro 2015
Produced by Bodegas Isidro Milagro, S.A., Cepa Lebrel is a red wine originating from Spain. Bottled in La Rioja, this 2015 vintage is made from the Tempranillo grape and features an alcohol content of 13.5%.
The wine comes from Rioja, Spain's most historic and famous wine region, which holds the country's highest quality classification, DOCa (Denominación de Origen Calificada). Situated in northern Spain, the region stretches along the Ebro river valley across La Rioja, the Basque Country, and Navarra. The vineyards are geographically protected by the Cantabrian Mountains to the north, shielding them from cold and wet Atlantic winds, and the Demanda mountain range to the south. Rioja's modern winemaking history was notably shaped by French winemakers in the 1800s. The 2015 vintage in this area is described as powerful and balanced, earning a score of 92 points.
The Rioja appellation is divided into three distinct sub-regions: Rioja Alta, Rioja Alavesa, and Rioja Oriental. The climate varies significantly, ranging from cooler, Atlantic-influenced zones in the higher western areas to a warmer, drier Mediterranean climate in the east. The diverse terroir features soils composed primarily of calcareous clay, ferrous clay, and alluvial deposits with river stones in the valley floors. Tempranillo serves as the foundation for the region's red wines and is a prominent Spanish variety also found in areas like Ribera del Duero and California. This particular release is classified as a Joven under the region's appellation rules.

Rioja
Rioja in northern Spain is the country's most famous wine region with a modern wine history shaped by French winemakers in the 19th century. Tempranillo is the main grape, often blended with Garnacha, and the wines are defined by their aging in oak barrels, classified as Crianza, Reserva and Gran Reserva. The result is soft, mature red wines with red berries, vanilla, leather and spice.
