While Ribera del Duero is known for producing some of Spain’s highest priced flagship wines, the exceptional 94 pt. 2015 Resalte Expresion offers outstanding value, a luxuriously powerful 100% Tempranillo boasting rich concentration with nuances of earth and spice, bargain priced to enjoy everyday.
Constructing a state-of-the-art winery in the early 2000s as a relative newcomer to the region, Bodegas Resalte was founded in the medieval village of Penafiel along the prized “Golden Mile” just east of Vega Sicilia. Producing the Expresion only in the best vintages, Resalte sourced the grapes for the 2015 from low yielding vines averaging 50 years of age, planted in small plots at high elevations in sandy, limestone soils. Fermenting the grapes in stainless steel, winemaker Enrique Andrades aged the 2015 Resalte Expresion for 18 months in mostly French oak barrels with five more years in the bottle, yielding fresh, energetic fruit and robust, integrated tannins in a contemporary-styled Ribera that will continue to evolve.
Named an Editor's Choice by the Wine Enthusiast and typically retailing for twice the price, the highly rated 2015 Resalte Expresion delivers the powerful punch of old vine Tempranillo on a bright backbone of acidity, a palate-pleasing, go-to choice for lovers of bold Spanish reds at exceptional pricing. |
