A benchmark Ribera del Duero with richness, freshness and classic Tempranillo character. Tinto Pesquera Crianza 2022 is crafted from 100% Tempranillo and combines generous ripe fruit with spice, polished tannins and beautifully integrated American oak.
Deep garnet in color, the wine opens with expressive aromas of ripe strawberry, cherry and darker berry fruit layered with notes of black pepper, licorice, vanilla and subtle balsamic tones. The palate is fresh, full and silky, with well-balanced acidity, persistent tannins and a long, savory finish.
The 2022 vintage was aged for 18 months in American oak barrels, followed by additional bottle aging before release. The oak adds warmth and complexity while allowing the ripe Tempranillo fruit to remain at the center of the wine.
About Tinto Pesquera
Tinto Pesquera was founded by Alejandro Fernández and Esperanza Rivera in Pesquera de Duero. Beginning with their first wines in the 1970s, the estate became one of the producers that helped establish Ribera del Duero's international reputation for powerful, age-worthy Tempranillo.
The winery's signature style combines ripe fruit and concentration with structure, freshness and the distinctive character of traditional oak aging. Today, Tinto Pesquera remains one of the classic names of the Ribera del Duero appellation.
