The Peña Roble Joven Bodegas Resalte de Peñafiel vinification takes place purely by gravity, without the use of pumps and a philosophy of minimal intervention is followed to respect the characteristics of the fruit and its provenance. Fermentation took place at carefully controlled temperatures of no more than 26°C to allow it to take place gradually and evenly. Fermentation was followed by two weeks’ extended maceration which imparted an interesting and original balance to the wine. Peña Roble Joven Bodegas Resalte de Peñafiel was matured in a combination of French and American oak barrels for five months.
The grapes come from carefully selected vineyards, from vines with an average age of 15 years. The vines are carefully cultivated throughout the year, with patience, specialised craftsmanship and manual work. Emphasis is placed on keeping the vine healthy, with winter pruning, bunch thinning, and shoot thinning all taking place to capture the personality of the terroir. The grapes are hand-harvested. They follow a philosophy of keeping yields low and strive to keep the soils healthy, which allows the production of a sharp, modern fruit-forward expression of the Tempranillo grape.
