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.

£8950Add to BasketTinto Pesquera is a world-famous wine, highly sought after and each release is eagerly anticipated by fans around the world.
The Millenium grapes come from Viña Alta, where Alejandro Fernandez planted its first vines in the late 1960s and early 1970s. It is located at an altitude of more than 800 meters.
This is only made in special vintages. So far that means just 1996, 2002, 2004, 2008, 2009 and now 2015. It’s also the only Pesquera wine aged in French oak, as opposed to American. Grapes from a single plot at 900 m, with 30 months in barrel.
In the glass, it is intense with lush red cherry, coffee, spice and barrel aromas. The palate is concentrated with sweet ripe black fruits leading to a silky, elegant mid-palate that is warm and exotic.
