Pesquera
Pesquera was the first Estate he established and the one that launched his fame. Tinto Pesquera is made with a hybrid, traditional/ modern methodology and is aged a minimum of 18 months in oak, with selected Reservas and Grand Reservas remaining in barrel for at least 24 months or longer. The wines are bottled unfined and unfiltered. The Pesquera township and its surroundings has a firmly continental climate: the long sunny days ensure that the grapes attain good ripeness levels, while the cool nights extend the growing season and lend the wines a freshness and elegance that has long been a Pesquera trademark.
