Tinto Pesquera Reserva 2019

Drink it now or cellar for 15 years. It is recommended to decant an hour before serving.

TheTinto Pesquera winery is located in Spain, in Pesquera de Duero-Valladolid. The owner, Alejandro Fernandez, can be defined as a man who made himself out of nothing with his skills and his own spirit of initiative. Son of very small winemakers, from an early age, he has always cherished the dream of having his own "bodega" and selling his wine. After trying different paths Alejandro, in 1972, begins the adventure in a very small cellar with an old stone press of the sixteenth-century producing wine from the Tempranillo grape. Ten years must pass for the winery to transform and become one of the leading Spanish wine producers, where, however, Alejandro keeps the old stone press.

The Tinto Pesquera Reserva is a 100% Tempranillo with an intense and bright ruby color. On the nose, it is a complex and elegant wine, with aromas of ripe black fruit elegantly accompanied by quality oak, spices, roasted notes, and minerals. On the palate, it is wide, dry, and silky at the beginning, but the ripe fruit explodes immediately, accompanied by mineral nuances, coffee, and tobacco. There is a perfect balance between alcohol and acidity. Tannins are round and smooth. It is the perfect companion for stews, red meats, and aged cheeses.
