Located in Pesquera de Duero, about 200 km north of Madrid, in the Ribera del Duero wine region, Tinto Pesquera winery is the creation of Alejandro Fernandez who founded in the 70’s. Since then, the company has grown to more than 200 hectares of land. In this region, the soil is of alluvial origin characterized by the presence of clay, sand, and infiltrations of limestone and debris. The continental climate, tempered by the nearby Atlantic Ocean, and the rainfall regime help to create an ideal terroir for growing grapes.

Produced with Tempranillo grapes from the historic Viña Alta vineyard, Tinto Pesquera Gran Reserva Millenium is a wonderful red wine produced only in exceptional vintages. The grapes, harvested manually, are transferred to the cellar and de-stemmed before being flared into stainless steel tanks, where they undergo maceration and alcoholic fermentation. The wine then spends 24 months in French oak barrels and remains another 10 months in the bottle before being placed on the market.

The Gran Reserva Millenium is an intense, broad, and structured wine. On the nose, the aromas of ripe black fruit stand out, followed by toasted and smoked notes due to the barrel aging. On the palate, it is elegant and smooth, with silky tannins and a harmonic and very long finish. Try it with game, roasted meat or lamb stew.
