Bodegas Penñafiel, Miros de Ribera del Duero ‘Roble’ 2020

Miros de Ribera Roble: An Exceptional Wine from Ribera del Duero

Crafted from Tinta Fina (Tempranillo), sourced from vineyards in Castrillo de Duero at an altitude of 920 meters, Miros de Ribera Roble perfectly embodies the unique characteristics of the Ribera del Duero DO (Denominación de Origen). The grapes are hand-harvested at their optimal ripeness and carefully placed in small 15 kg crates to ensure the highest quality. Aging for 18 months in French oak barrels adds subtle complexity, creating a harmonious balance between fruity and oaky aromas.
