Nose

Rich bouquet of ripe dark cherry, plum preserve and dried fig, underpinned by a distinct limestone minerality, notes of vanilla, black pepper and a subtle hint of fine leather evolved through extended bottle ageing.

Palate

Full-bodied and velvety on the palate, with well-integrated silky tannins, a fruit-forward mid-palate of dark berry and spice, and crisp acidity that lifts the wine and provides excellent balance.

Finish

Long and persistently mineral, with lingering spice, dried fruit complexity and a clean terroir-driven character that speaks clearly of Ribera del Duero's high-altitude plateau.

Peñafalcón Siglo XI VS 2009 is a selected harvest red wine from Ribera del Duero, crafted entirely from organically farmed Tinto Fino — the local expression of Tempranillo — grown on the calcareous, stony soils surrounding the historic town of Peñafiel. Produced by Bodegas Peñafalcón, a family-owned estate with roots stretching back to the 17th century, this wine embodies a philosophy of patience and authenticity: extended barrel ageing, artisanal vineyard management, and an unwavering commitment to expressing the unique terroir of this high-altitude plateau.

The 2009 vintage is widely regarded as an outstanding year in Ribera del Duero, characterised by warm, dry summers and the region's dramatic diurnal temperature swings — conditions that concentrated both phenolic richness and aromatic complexity in the Tempranillo berries. In the glass, the Siglo XI VS 2009 presents a deep ruby hue with evolved terracotta rim, signalling a wine that has gracefully entered its drinking window. The bouquet is generous and nuanced: ripe dark cherry, plum preserve and dried fig are layered with notes of vanilla, black pepper, fine leather and a distinctive mineral undercurrent drawn from the limestone-rich soils. On the palate, the mouthfeel is broad and velvety, with well-integrated, silky tannins and enough lively acidity to provide freshness and balance. The mid-palate is fruit-forward yet structured, and the finish is long and persistently mineral — the hallmark of a genuinely terroir-driven Tempranillo from this denomination.

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.
