The premium Tinto Fino from Resalte de Peñafiel, aged in French oak for greater concentration and mineral complexity than the Crianza, showing the character of the Peñafiel sub-zone.

What it pairs with

  • Roast lamb with garlic
    The wine's mineral and dark-fruit character suits traditional Castilian roast lamb.
  • Grilled beef chop
    Dark fruit and firm tannins complement charred beef.
  • Aged Manchego
    Hard sheep's milk cheese and the wine's structure create balance.
