“A 60-month oak-aged Tempranillo from Ribera del Duero. Complex, balsamic and beautifully structured — the 2007 vintage at its most compelling.”

Nose

Ripe dark fruit compote, plum and blackberry, layered with cigar box, balsamic notes and earthy woodland character. A faint mineral thread and warm oak spice round out a complex, evolved bouquet.

Palate

Full-bodied and velvety on the palate, with beautifully integrated, polished tannins and a lively mid-palate acidity that keeps the wine fresh. Flavours of dark fruit, liquorice, dark chocolate and warm baking spice show impressive depth and structure.

Finish

Long, lingering finish with echoes of tobacco, dried fruit and a subtle minerality that reflects the calcareous soils of Ribera del Duero. The aromatic persistence is a hallmark of 60 months of careful oak-ageing.

Peñafalcón Siglo XI VS 2007 stands as one of the most compelling expressions of extended oak-ageing to come out of Ribera del Duero. Produced by Bodegas Peñafalcón, a family-run winery in the historic town of Peñafiel — whose medieval name, meaning 'rock with a falcon perched at the summit', inspired the estate's identity — this is a single-varietal Tempranillo that has spent up to 60 months in a combination of American and French oak barrels before release.

The winery's philosophy is rooted in artisanal viticulture: no herbicides, hand-worked soils, natural sulphur treatments and sheep manure as fertiliser. Vineyards in privileged sites such as Santa Cruz, Carraovejas and Blanqueras sit on calcareous, stony soils at altitude — conditions that yield small-berried, thick-skinned Tempranillo grapes with impressive concentration and structure. The 2007 vintage carries an alcohol content of 15% vol, a testament to the exceptional phenolic ripeness achieved under Ribera del Duero's intensely sunny growing season.

On the nose, this age-worthy red wine reveals a mature, complex bouquet: dark fruit compote, cigar box, balsamic nuances and an earthy woodland character that speaks to its years of evolution in barrel and bottle. The mouthfeel is dense and velvety, with polished, integrated tannins and a lively backbone of acidity that keeps the wine fresh and focused. The finish is long and lingering, with layers of warm spice, dark chocolate and a faint mineral echo of the Ribera terroir.

This is a wine built for the table: outstanding alongside roasted red meats, venison, Iberian charcuterie or well-aged sheep's cheese. Decant for at least 30 minutes before serving at 16–18°C to allow the wine to fully open up.

The Winery

Founded in 2000

Bodegas Peñafalcón is an independent family winery located in Peñafiel, in the heart of the Ribera del Duero Denomination of Origin. Officially founded in 2000 by Casimiro and his wife María José Arranz, the winery draws on a generational legacy stretching back to the 17th century, when their ancestors were already crafting wine in traditional stone cellars in the region. The name Peñafalcón itself is a journey into the medieval past: historical records show that the village bore this name in the 11th century before becoming known as Peñafiel. The toponym, meaning «rock with a falcon perched at its summit», perfectly encapsulates the spirit of a winery deeply proud of its land and heritage. Peñafalcón's winemaking philosophy is rooted in a profound respect for the land and for traditional cultivation methods. From its very beginnings, the winery has embraced organic viticulture: rows are worked by hand, herbicides are entirely avoided, and sheep manure is used as a natural fertilizer. This unwavering commitment to the environment yields exceptional-quality grapes from privileged vineyard plots such as Santa Cruz, Carraovejas and Blanqueras, where Tempranillo, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot are cultivated. Among its most acclaimed wines is the Peñafalcón Siglo XI range, which includes the Crianza aged 24 months in barrel, the Reserva aged 36 months, and the exclusive Gran Reserva with up to five years of ageing. These wines express the unique personality of the Ribera del Duero terroir and the artisanal passion with which Casimiro and his family carry on a centuries-old tradition. International recognition speaks to the quality of their wines: Bodegas Peñafalcón has accumulated more than 56 Super Gold and Gold awards in national and international competitions, including the Gran Oro Internacional, the Catavinum World Wine Spirits Competition and the International Wine Guide. Over 70% of production is exported to markets across Europe, Asia and the United States.
