100% Tempranillo
Alejandro Fernandez, well-known as the owner/winemaker for Pesquera, has scored a home run with this delicious Tempranillo. It began when he discovered an abandoned hillside on the banks of the River Duero in the mid-1980s that seemed to bring together the ideal conditions to become one of the best vineyards of the region. It had a gentle south-facing slope that ended in the river and different soils composed of gravel, clay and gypsum that promised to produce the nuances needed to create complex wines from Tempranillo. The results of his discovery speak from the bottle and more than a few critics have heard the call.
