About this winery
The parent company. The beginning of a revolution. Tinto Pesquera is the most cherished project of Familio Fernández Rivera. A 16th-century stone press with which the group began, in 1975, to craft red wines that would put Ribera del Duero on the global wine map.

Tasting notes
Intense picota cherry red colour, clear and shiny. Aromas of ripe red fruits, practically in compote with notes of fresh baked bread as well as balsamic hints. Intense and fruity at the same time, with notes of blackberry and spices and well-structured hints of wood. A very elegant, fine and silky wine. With well-rounded tannins and just the right touch of acidity to bring freshness and vivacity throughout long bottle ageing. Intense and prolonged finish.
