The wine

Resalte Vendimia Seleccionada is the freshest and most original wine from the Peñafiel winery, a renewed version of a true classic. A red wine with aromas reminiscent of yesteryear and a delicate, yet far from simple, smooth flow.

What does this wine taste like?

Both elegant and intense, VS does not stick to the gums but neither does it leave any spot inside our cheeks indifferent as it delights the mouth with pleasantness and the seductive sensation of ripe blackberries and cranberries. It flows elegantly across the palate, with each vintage gaining in fluidity and balance. A perfectly-measured spicy and mature wine. Hints of cigars, cherries and strawberry coulis swiftly appear, followed on by new aromas with every smell of the glass, including even a surprising reminder of After Eight mint chocolates as vegetal and herbal hints combine with cocoa. Fragrances and flavours of the vineyard are bottled in the VS, the result of a simple, untechnical process which allows the land and the fruit to express themselves fully in a wine reminiscent of those our grandparents enjoyed daily.

Wine critics reviewsReviews by Parker

The fresh and fruit-driven red 2020 Vendimia Seleccionada was produced with Tempranillo from slow-ripening vines . It's light and fresh, with a moderate 13.3% alcohol and good freshness, reflecting a cooler year with more rain and a good crop. Since they moved their viticulture to organic, they stopped using selected yeasts, and here they did a short maceration to achieve a medium-bodied red that has fine tannins and is fresh and balanced, pleasant, clean and easy to drink. It matured in 500-liter barrels for 12 months. 80,000 bottles, 4,000 magnums and some larger formats produced. It was bottled in March 2022.

Winemaking

Always made with grapes from the same plots, offering the freshest and most subtle character and grapes with silky tannins and floral aromas. The must is moved with a gravity-fed process and fermented at low temperatures to obtain the silky feel and essence of the fruit’s primary aromas. Large 500-litre tanks are used to round off the wine without leaving too big an impression on it.

Ageing period12 months

Vineyards

At an altitude of 1,000 metres the chalky-soil vineyards are located at the highest point of the appellation. The soil and significant night/day temperature differences found in the moorlands of Manzanillo, Fompedraza and Torre de Peñafiel explain the irresistible aromas of the Vendimia Seleccionada.
