Bodegas Resalte de Peñafiel Resalte Crianza 2014
The Resalte logo represents the highest tower of the castle of Peñafiel, the symbol of the Ribera del Duero DO and has become widely recognised as the image of Bodegas Resalte de Peñafiel. The grapes for the Resalte Crianza are sourced from six villages in the Ribera del Duero DO, from vines with an average age of 30 years old. Each plot has a different soil structure which imparts complexity in the resulting wine. The wine is vinified entirely by gravity, adopting a philosophy of minimal intervention to respect the characteristics of the fruit and its provenance. The wine is then aged for a minimum 14 months in a combination of French and American oak before the final blending and bottling.
Bodegas Resalte de Peñafiel Resalte Crianza is a complex wine full of finesse, with fruity notes of blackberry, cherry and liquorice enveloped in exquisitely integrated oak. A full bodied palate with ripe tannins finishes with textured, long lasting depth.
