A vintage rated Excellent, Cueva del Pecado Crianza 2021 represents the precise point where character meets seduction.

Cueva del Pecado Crianza 2021 nace de viñas de Tempranillo cultivadas en suelos calizos y vendimiadas a mano en pequeñas cajas de 15 kg. En bodega, los racimos pasan por mesa de selección y se despalillan suavemente, sin estrujar la uva. Su crianza de 20 meses en roble francés le aporta profundidad y una textura aterciopelada.
Fundada en 1927 como filial española del Grupo Schenk, en 2002 pasó a denominarse Bodegas Murviedro, en honor a su vino Cavas Murviedro, una de las marcas más emblemáticas de la Comunidad Valenciana, donde la bodega tiene su sede. Hoy sigue en manos de la familia fundadora y ha expandido su actividad a otras regiones. En todas ellas apuesta por las variedades autóctonas y por la valorización de viñedos de cepas viejas, creando vinos ligados al terruño que muestran un perfil diferenciador.

Winemaking
It comes from Tinta Fina (Tempranillo) vines grown in calcareous soils and hand-harvested in 15 kg boxes. In the winery, the bunches pass over a sorting table and are gently destemmed without crushing the grapes. It undergoes a cold pre-fermentation maceration to enhance the aromatic compounds, followed by a fermentation of 15 to 25 days at 29°C in 17,000 L conical tanks, with two pump-overs daily to achieve a balance between elegance and power. Malolactic fermentation is carried out in stainless steel alongside its fine lees, through a delicate batonage that adds volume and creaminess.
Aging
The wine has been aged for 20 months in new French oak barrels, developing its deep and velvety expression.
View

Mouth
