Description

El Vinculo started as a challenge – to produce high-quality wine in La Mancha, an area of central Spain with no reputation for fine wine. It is no surprise that the Fernández Rivera family, creators of Pesquera, succeeded. Located in Campo de Criptana, a town whose windmills were made famous in Don Quixote, the wines are created from old vines rescued by the family. This is the only winery in the group to produce a white wine, an entirely unique oak-aged Airen that will thrill those looking to explore.

After traveling the length and breadth of La Mancha, in 1999, the Fernández Rivera family found something that greatly appealed: high-quality, old Tempranillo vines, perfectly adapted to local conditions. Convinced that the quality potential was immense as long as yield and selection were carefully controlled, they surprised local growers by insisting on a new way of working the La Mancha vineyards. By sourcing fruit through long-term contracts with growers focused on low yields and precise harvesting, the family ensures first-rate La Mancha grapes give rise, year-after-year, to fine wines with unparalleled wine aromas and flavours.
