Why this wine
A serious Ribera Crianza from a small, gravity-fed winery that ferments with wild yeasts and ages in 80% French oak. Fourteen-plus months in barrel and a 93-point Suckling score make this a strong buy at the price.

How it tastes
A complex, polished Tempranillo with blackberry, cherry and liquorice wrapped in beautifully integrated cedar oak. Full-bodied, with ripe tannins and a textured, long finish — 100% Tempranillo.
The producer
Bodegas Resalte de Peñafiel is a boutique winery founded in 2000 in Peñafiel, in the heart of DO Ribera del Duero, working with 80 hectares of Tempranillo across some of the region's finest sites. Origen draws on hand-harvested fruit from 30-year-old vines in six villages, each with a different soil, and the winery works by gravity without pumps. Fermentation is with wild yeasts, with 23 days of maceration, before a minimum of 14 months in French (80%) and American (20%) oak barrels ahead of final blending.
Food and drinking
Classic with roast lamb, chargrilled steak, suckling pig, chorizo and hard sheep's cheeses such as Manchego. Serve at 17-18°C and decant for an hour. Drinking well now and will develop over five to ten years. Suitable for vegetarians and vegans.
