2019 Reserva, Viña Pedrosa
Ribera del Duero, Spain
Vina 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.

The winery is situated on top of the hill just outside the village of Pedrosa del Duero, with panoramic views over the surrounding vineyards and countryside. This position at altitude is responsible for their overall micro-climate being cooler, with a considerable diurnal temperature differential. This makes for a lengthier growing season with the grapes hanging longer on the vine for slow ripening, meaning their harvest is often completed weeks after surrounding, lower lying vineyards. As of 2023, the estate has fully converted to organic.
The wines are judiciously matured in French oak casks to produce serious, multi-layered wines of great elegance and finesse. The Cepa Gavilán and Crianza offer medium to full-bodied, complex wines with flavours of chocolate, coffee and black olive tapenade, firm tannins and great life. The Cepa Gavilán is perfect as a lunch time red. The Reserva wines are made from 90% Tempranillo vines (which have an average age of 30 and 45 years respectively) and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon.
