Alejandro Fernndez and his Tinto Pesquera label helped put Ribera del Duero on the world map, proving the region could make Tempranillo to rival Rioja’s best. This Reserva is the heart of the range 100% Tempranillo from estate vineyards on the high, pebbly clay of Pesquera de Duero, aged in oak to add structure and spice without burying the fruit. Polished, dark-fruited and savory, it’s classic Ribera built for hearty food. Real Spanish heritage in a very approachable package.
