Spec sheet
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.

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.

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.
