Bodegas Penafiel Ribera del Duero Mironia Roble 2018 750 ml

Mironia Roble is a red wine from Bodegas Peñafiel in Ribera del Duero, Spain's celebrated Tempranillo region along the Duero river. 'Roble' indicates a young wine given a light, brief oak aging, typically a few months, rather than the longer Crianza or Reserva treatments, keeping the wine fresher and more fruit-forward. Made predominantly from Tempranillo, as required for wines carrying the Ribera del Duero designation, the 2018 vintage should show ripe red and black fruit, a touch of vanilla from the oak, and moderate tannins. Expect a deep ruby color with cherry and plum on the nose, and a smooth, fruit-driven palate with a soft, approachable finish. An easy, versatile red for weeknight drinking rather than cellaring.

How to drink Mironia Roble

Serve it at cool room temperature, a touch below typical red wine serving temp, to keep the fruit bright. It is an easy match for roasted meats, pasta with red sauce, or hard cheese.
