Why this wine
Resalte work only with Tempranillo, from eighty hectares of low-yielding vines around Peñafiel at the centre of Ribera del Duero. This is the estate's youngest wine, given just five months in French and American oak, so the fruit stays forward while the barrel adds polish. An easy way into a region better known for its grander bottles.

How it tastes
Red plum and sweet cherry lead, with liquorice behind them and a light coconut-and-vanilla lift from the barrel. The texture is smooth and the weight generous without being heavy, ripe fruit and a touch of spice carrying through to a long finish. Tempranillo 100%.
The producer
Bodegas Resalte de Peñafiel is a boutique winery in Peñafiel, at the heart of the Ribera del Duero, established in 2000 and built entirely around Tempranillo. Its eighty hectares of vines, among them some of the finest sites in the region, average fifteen years of age and are worked by hand through winter pruning, bunch thinning and shoot thinning, then hand-harvested at deliberately low yields. In the winery the fruit moves by gravity rather than pumps: fermentation was held below 26°C to run slowly and evenly, followed by two weeks of extended maceration, and the wine then spent five months in a combination of French and American oak barrels.
Food and drinking
Serve at 16-18°C with roast lamb, grilled pork, chorizo with piquillo peppers, or a plate of aged Manchego. Drinking well now and over the next three to four years; it needs no decanting, though half an hour open does it no harm. Sealed with a technical cork. Suitable for vegetarians and vegans.
