Calle Real, 2. 47315 Pesquera de Duero (Valladolid)
España
Today,
the results of such great efforts are known and appreciated
around the world. These are red wines in which the wood
is enormously respectful to the fruit. Wines that gain
in complexity and nuances as the years go by without
losing their original character. These are Pesquera
red wines. This region has a continental climate with a well-drained but poor and clean soil with just the right amount of organic matter. It is an ideal soil for the vines —with the help of the air, rain and the sun— to conjure forth aromas and flavours rich in nuances and store them in the grapes.

DO
Ribera del Duero
Following
on from the family tradition learnt from is father,
Alejandro Fernández would make wine each year
from the grapes of his small vineyards. However, he
had to wait until 1972 to have his own real winery.
It had a small 16th century winepress where almost the
whole process was conducted. Ten years would pass before
the Tinto Pesquera winery would look more or less the
same as it does today. The ancient winepress, however,
still survives to this day. More than 200 hectares of
beautiful vineyards today supply the winery. All the
vineyards are planted with Tempranillo vines, the “queen
of grapes” and the delicate variety in which Alejandro
is a master.
