Fifty years ago, Alejandro Fernández and his wife Esperanza Rivera bought a 16thcentury 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.

Aromas of black and red fruit laid over spicy notes with vanilla and a touch of liquorish. A rounded well balanced and rich palate that has some fine finesse. Drinking well now.
