This red wine is made from Tempranillo and undergoes a short aging period in oak, keeping it smooth and approachable while clearly having more complexity than a completely unoaked profile. The term on the label is also relevant in terms of content. What does Roble mean in Spanish wine? It means the wine is aged briefly in oak, in this case for a minimum of 3 months. \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-section-id=\"14jexaw\" data-start=\"683\" data-end=\"706\"\u003eVineyards and region\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"708\" data-end=\"874\"\u003eThe origin of this wine lies in a high-altitude part of Ribera del Duero where freshness and ripeness remarkably come together.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-start=\"876\" data-end=\"1839\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"18m7z2g\" data-start=\"876\" data-end=\"1134\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"878\" data-end=\"901\"\u003eLocation \/ Origin:\u003c\/strong\u003e The terroir here revolves around Finca La Encina in Gumiel del Mercado, within the so-called Golden Triangle of Ribera del Duero.
