Cepa Lebrel Rioja Crianza 2021

Cepa Lebrel is a well-known wine brand specifically produced for and sold in Lidl supermarkets. This particular bottle is a Rioja Crianza from the 2021 vintage, meaning it has undergone the required aging process (at least one year in oak barrels) mandated by the Rioja Denominación de Origen Calificada (DOCa) in Spain.

The brand is a private label exclusively owned by Lidl Stift & Co. KG. The wine itself is produced in the prestigious Rioja region of Spain by partner wineries, such as Bodegas Olagosa, specifically for the retailer. While the brand has its roots in Spanish winemaking traditions to satisfy international standards for Rioja wine, its commercial origin and ultimate control lie with the German retail giant Lidl.
