Tinto Pesquera Reserva

The Pesquera Reserva from Alejandro Fernández is one of the wines that established Ribera del Duero on the world map – concentrated, multi-layered, and with real aging potential.

Alejandro Fernández laid the foundation for modern wine culture in the Duero Valley in 1972 with the Finca Pesquera. His Reserva matures for several years in American oak before it comes onto the market – a style that shaped the wine long before Ribera del Duero became a DO.

In the glass, it glows in a powerful garnet red with blue-red reflections. In the nose, black blackberry, cassis, and vanilla, plus a hint of roasted aromas from the barrel aging. On the palate, dense and concentrated – dried dark fruits, velvety tannins, long finish with depth.
