"With the vines averaging 50 years of age, it should be of no surprise to hear that this is filled with ripeness in abundance. Rich and ripe black and purple fruit aromatics dance out of the glass. The classy bouquet of plums, boysenberry and vanilla bean fly away hand in hand with a savoury family of aromatics. It opens up to give grilled herbs, balsamic notes and a real meaty undertone. This, in my opinion, gives this both complexity and old world charm. Unapologetically Spanish."
Viña Pedrosa’s story begins with Mauro Pérez and the lands that he loved and worked on throughout his life. He was a hard-working and innately intelligent man who taught his children to respect the land and take pride in their work. Today, the winery is on the vineyards that he left his family, in Pedrosa de Duero in the Spanish province of Burgos.
Believing deeply in the huge potential of the family vineyard, in 1980 the Pérez Pascuas siblings decided to found their own winery, pursuing their dream of making top quality wines and keeping the long tradition of winemaking alive.
Viña Pedrosa is now a robust and world-renowned venture involving two generations of enthusiastic wine connoisseurs who give their all to achieving the Bodegas Hermanos. Pérez Pascuas' goal: transform the fruits of the earth into the best possible wine.
Tempranillo is one of the most important grape varietals in all of Spain where you might also know it as Tinto Fino - like it is in Portugal. Most notably it is the leading grape of Rioja's red blend where it was traditionally quite an oaky and spicy red wine. In Ribera del Duero, it arguably, comes into its own as it doesn't see as much oak so that you can truly get to see its lively red fruit flavours.
