General Information
Mironia Reserva 2018 is made from vineyards planted at over 900 m above sea level, which leave their mark on this wine. These are Tinta Fina (Tempranillo) and Cabernet Sauvignon vines, harvested by hand at their optimum point of ripeness. Once at the winery, the grapes go through the sorting table, where they are selected berry by berry.
Next, after gentle destemming and crushing, a 24-hour cold maceration takes place in an inert atmosphere to extract the maximum aromas, followed by fermentation for 12 days at a controlled temperature of between 24 and 28ºC in 17,000-l truncated-cone tanks. This is followed by a 30-day post-fermentation maceration and malolactic fermentation in tanks together with its fine lees, with gentle battonage carried out to increase volume on the palate. Finally, the resulting red wine is transferred to French oak barrels to age for 18 months.
Located in the very heart of the Ribera del Duero Designation of Origin, Bodegas Peñafiel is a Castilian winery committed to capturing and conveying the potential of the finest Tinto Fino vineyards that dominate the production area. Low-yielding vines that are constantly monitored and rigorously selected so that only the best bunches take part in the production of the winery's wines.
Mironia Reserva 2018 (D.O. Ribera del Duero) pairs perfectly with game dishes such as roast roe deer loin or braised oxtail.
Tasting notes
Intense cherry-red colour with a slight golden rim in the glass. On the nose, aromas of ripe black forest fruits together with spicy and balsamic notes. It is aged in medium and medium-light toasted French oak barrels, so as not to mask the essence of this modern Reserva. On the palate, it is full-bodied and persistent, with the typical elegance and power of our Ribera del Duero.
