Description
In a nutshell:
A complex, multilayered Ribera del Duero from the famous estate of Alejandro Fernández.
The lowdown:
Recognised as one of the region's foremost estates, Tinto Pesquera wines are pretty sought after. This, their superb Reserva made from 100% tempranillo, is aged for 24 months in oak barrels before bottling. It has a whole array of aromas from black cherry and raspberry to vanilla and sweet oak spice. Rich and smooth on the palate it has abundant silky tannins and plenty of ripe fruit that mingle wonderfully with the sweet spice flavours picked up from the time spent in American oak barrels. While full bodied and well structured it also has a good freshness from the well judged acidity.
The Producer:
Familia Fernandez Rivera: In 1972 Alejandro Fernández started making wine in his hometown of Pesquera on the banks of the Duero a few miles east of Valladolid. At that stage he may not have been aware of it, but he was playing a big part in bringing the wines of this region, Ribera del Duero, to the notice of the world. After gaining something of a reputation in Spain, being later discovered by Robert Parker, led to his wines achieved something of a cult status in the USA. Over intervening years, they have continued to cement their reputation as a leading producer in the region and steadily expanded the scale of their operations which now encompass four wineries, one of which is the well regarded Condado de Haza.
When to drink:
Capable of ageing gracefully it's also nicely vivacious. Roast lamb, beef, or venison are the right sort of food pairing here.
