This red wine is made exclusively from Tempranillo grapes grown in the old vineyard in Ribera del Duero. Here, the grapes enjoy a perfect climate where the sun can do its work. The fresh mountaintop breeze and cool nights provide the perfect cooling during the harvest, resulting in a perfect balance. Each bunch is harvested by hand at ideal ripeness, and upon arrival at Heredad de Peñalosa, the hot juice is aged in oak. The winemakers choose to age the entire wine for at least four months. It becomes full-bodied and creamy with a soft character.
Upon opening this beautiful bottle, we smell a robust aroma of black fruit, light spices, and a touch of toast and tobacco. In the glass, it erupts into a black-red hue with a creamy texture. Use a large glass to unleash all its beautiful aromas. Swirl the wine back and forth, and the beautiful aromas emerge, including sweet cherries, blueberries, vanilla, licorice, and tobacco leaves. On the palate, it offers a powerful attack with plenty of black fruit and spices. Later, after a brief lingering, a subtle hint of the oak barrel is revealed. On the back of the palate, notes of licorice, vanilla, and earth complete this red wine.
