Penafiel Mironia Crianza 2018

Bodegas Peñafiel scored high with us with this Crianza. Tempranillo is mainly used for this wine, locally also called tinto fino or tinto de país. The grapes are picked manually in the early morning and a strict selection for the wine in stainless steel cuves can start its fermentation. During the vinification a malolactic fermentation of no less than 30 days and afterwards an aging of 14 months in French Allier oak barrels. In the nose this wine gives us scents of ripe cherries, balsamic and a spicy undertone. When tasting, our taste buds are spoiled with ripe red forest fruits, vanilla, a southern spice touch and well-presented tannins. This wine is fantastic value for money and will certainly appeal to lovers of powerful wines. We were immediately sold! health!
