Tinto Pesquera Millenium Gran Reserva 2015

The Millenium Gran Reserva is only made in exceptional vintages and it is Tinto Pesquera’s crowning jewel. The grapes come from Viña Alta, the first plot planted by the Familia Fernández Rivera almost 50 years ago. 2015 was a hot year, perfectly suiting the old vines at higher altitudes, such as those in Viña Alta. Matured for 24 months in oak, it’s the only wine the family age in French oak barrels, making it something truly special.

Expect an explosive combo of crème de cassis, blackberry, black cherry, freshly roasted coffee, liquorice, sophisticated woody spices, cedar and leather. This is simply a phenomenal piece of winemaking and every inch a classic. One of the defining wines of Ribera del Duero that should be on the bucket list of all Spanish wine lovers.
