Pesquera is one of the legendary producers from Ribera del Duero which is one of the greatest regions for full bodied dry red wine. Pequera is owned by and made by the legendary figure Alejandro Fernandez. Wines produced by Alejandro Fernández are made exclusively from the difficult, quick-maturing Tempranillo variety, of which he is the acknowledged master. His world-famous Tinto Pesquera is aged a minimum of 18 months in oak.

Tasting Notes: This is classically styles old world Ribera at its finest. Bright ruby. Exotically perfumed aroma of red berries, cherry, spicecake and sandalwood becomes richer with air, picking up plum compote and bitter chocolate qualities that carry onto the palate. A rich, fleshy style that betrays no rough edges, as the fruit sucks up the tannins. This has the depth to age but there's plenty of complexity already. Serve it with a peppery, grilled piece of lamb.
