Frequently Asked Questions
- What grape variety is Pesquera Ribera del Duero Reserva made from?
- 100% Tinto Fino — the local Ribera del Duero name for Tempranillo. Alejandro Fernández's insistence on single-varietal bottling with American oak aging defined modern Ribera del Duero winemaking from the 1980s onward.
- How does Pesquera Reserva differ from regular Pesquera Crianza?
- The Reserva receives longer oak aging (minimum 12 months versus 6 for Crianza) and is selected only from the finest parcels in excellent vintages. The result is greater concentration, a more defined structure, and significantly longer aging potential.
- Is Pesquera Ribera del Duero a good value?
- Absolutely. Pesquera offers remarkable quality for the price — the historic estate that first put Ribera del Duero on the global wine map still produces wines accessible to serious enthusiasts without being prohibitively expensive.
