Tinto Pesquera Reserva is a premium red wine produced by Alejandro Fernández, a renowned winemaker from the Ribera del Duero appellation in Spain. The wine is made from Tempranillo grapes grown in the Pesquera vineyard, which is known for its high altitude and limestone-rich soils which help bring freshness to balance the ripeness the grapes achieve in this warm region. The winemaking process involves a careful selection of grapes, followed by fermentation in stainless steel tanks and aging in French and American oak barrels. The resulting wine is a complex and bold expression of the Tempranillo grape, very different from that found in Rioja, with notes of dark fruit, spice, and vanilla. Tinto Pesquera Reserva is a perfect choice for those seeking a sophisticated and refined wine from one of Spain's most prestigious wine regions.
