Tinto Pesquera Crianza 2021 is a rich and elegant red with aromas of ripe black cherry, plum, and blackberry, accented by subtle notes of vanilla, tobacco, and a touch of leather. The palate is full-bodied with well-integrated tannins, offering a perfect balance of fruit and spice. Layers of dark fruit are complemented by hints of toasted oak and a touch of earthiness, leading to a smooth and lengthy finish with vibrant acidity.

Best known in Rioja, Ribera del Duero
Spain's great red grape. Cherry, plum, tobacco and leather, with smooth tannins, and oak ageing adds vanilla and spice. It is the heart of Rioja and Ribera del Duero, and in Portugal's Douro the same grape is called Tinta Roriz.
Spain
Spain's other great red wine heartland. Higher altitude than Rioja, hotter days and colder nights. Tempranillo (here called Tinto Fino) makes wines of real power and concentration. Vega Sicilia is the benchmark; there are now dozens of excellent producers at every price point.
