Tinto Pesquera Crianza is one of the most historic wines of Ribera del Duero! A wine that brings to your glass the richness and intensity of the region’s wines, carrying the signature of Alejandro Fernández—the man who brought Ribera del Duero into the spotlight during the 1990s.
Alejandro Fernández founded the Tinto Pesquera winery in 1975 with the goal of highlighting the potential of Ribera del Duero, which at the time did not enjoy the reputation it holds today. History not only proved him right, but in the ’90s came his moment of glory, when Robert Parker described his flagship wine, Janus, as the Petrus of Spain!
Tinto Pesquera Crianza 2016 is a single‑varietal Tinto Fino (the local name for Tempranillo) from vineyards located at altitudes above 800 meters, a factor that helps preserve freshness during the region’s very hot summers. The wine ages for 12 months in oak barrels and an additional 6 months in bottle before release.
If you’re looking for a wine for your next friendly gathering, then you shouldn’t miss it!
