Made from Tempranillo vines 10-15 years old and aged for 12 months in oak. In the glass, it has loads of creamy, spicy, vanilla-rich American oak enriched by bright, ripe blackcurrant fruit. The palate has lovely dry savouriness which floods the tongue, the slick, ripe tannins and cherry-skin grip are lovely, all buttressed by that spice and creamy oak.

This is the latest release of their Crianza. It’s made from 100% Tempranillo, grown in their own vineyards, and is aged for 18 months in oak prior to bottling.

There’s plenty of power here which, coupled with the rounded tannins, give it a nicely sleek and silky feel in the lead up to a subtly spicy finish.
It is a complex wine and will age well so drink now to 2030. Pair with rich red meat dishes from roasts to stews.

2019 Reserva, Viña Pedrosa
£4795Add to BasketVina Pedrosa is made by the Pérez Pascua family in the Ribera del Duero. Brothers Benjamin, Manuel and Adolfo have been instrumental in transforming the sleepy town of Pedroso into one of Northern Spain’s most revered wine locations.
This 2019 Reserva is made from 35-year-old vines where every grape is carefully harvested by hand with an emphasis placed on low yields, to obtain beautifully balanced, highly focused grapes.
In the glass, it is bursting with aromas of dense, ripe fruit, vigorous herbs, menthol, spice and coffee. The palate has wonderfully rounded fruit flavours with pleasing tannins and balanced acidity. A steely undercurrent of minerality invigorates the palate. Vina Pedrosa’s Reserva has already spent 2 years ageing in the barrel, and a further year in the bottle before release, priming it for your enjoyment. This wine will age gracefully for up to 15 years. We suggest decanting one hour before serving.
