Fifty years ago, Alejandro Fernández and his wife Esperanza Rivera bought a 16th century winery in Pesquera de Duero and made a commitment to reviving Ribera del Duero's ancient winemaking tradition. Together they produced Tinto Pesquera, a now-iconic winery described as “the ‘Spanish Pétrus” by critic Robert Parker, and were instrumental in establishing these wines on the world stage. Made in a traditional style, these wines remain the standard by which all other Ribera del Duero are measured.
A rich and intense nose of sweet black fruit and sweet spice, such as vanilla and clove, from the oak maturation. Juicy dark fruit and floral flavours on the palate are balanced by defined acidity. There are hints of smokiness on the mid-palate and the finish is long and persistent.
