Barrel ageing

The ageing of our wines is done in a large dark and silent room, where automatic systems control temperature and humidity. The control over the climatic parameters allows us to keep the ideal ageing conditions of our wines for every stage of the elaboration process.

For each wine, we use different type of oak.

For each wine from Bodegas Resalte we have selected many types of barrels with different toasts from the best coopers in the world. With each type of barrel we try to contribute with different characteristics that improve the wine, making it more complex, but at the same time, respecting the potential of the grapes.

Vendimia Seleccionada
For the Vendimia Seleccionada, we use 500-liter barrels of medium-roasted French oak, where ageing lasts at least 12 months.
Origen
The Origen de Resalte is aged during 14 to 15 months in 225-liter barrels, 80% being French oak and 20% American; of them, at least more than 35% is always new barrel.
Expresión
Our Resalte Expresión is always made with new barrels, 90% French oak and the rest American oak. The ageing is done during 18 months.
Gran Resalte
To elaborate our Gran Resalte we look for the best woods and the most prestigious coopers, in order to achieve greater complexity, elegance and respect the natural freshness of the wine. The Gran Resalte is aged for at least 24 months in French oak barrels with very fine grains.
8 Essences Cuvée Nº1
8 Essences Cuvée Nº1, our first CVC wine (a blend of several vintages), comes from combining the best barrels from the 2011, 2012 and 2016 vintages, providing power, elegance, freshness and minerality for a unique wine.
