Why this wine
Penafiel sits at Ribera's centre, and Resalte work with old vines around the town at prices well below the region's better-known names. Reserva ageing gives it savoury depth without losing the fruit. Considerable wine for the money.

How it tastes
Ripe dark fruit, liquorice, mineral and spice with roasted notes from the oak, echoed on a smooth palate with fine-grained tannins. Vinified purely by gravity, without pumps.
The producer
Resalte is a boutique house established in 2000 in Peñafiel, at the centre of Ribera del Duero, working eighty hectares of Tempranillo with an average vine age of forty years. Considerable wine for the money.
Food and drinking
Good with red meat, lamb, game and cheese. Drinking well now, with a decade or more ahead of it. Serve at 17–18°C.
