Tinto Pesquera | Ribera del Duero, Spain

Tinto Pesquera began its journey in 1975 when Alejandro Fernández and his wife, Esperanza Rivera, took the bold step of reviving a 16th‑century stone winery in Pesquera de Duero. Armed with a belief in the exceptional potential of Ribera del Duero’s terroir, they championed traditional winemaking techniques that swiftly caught the world’s attention, so much so that Robert Parker dubbed their wines “the Spanish Pétrus.” From those early days, the Fernández Riveras set out not only to craft outstanding tempranillo but also to cement the region’s reputation on the global stage.

Half a century on, Tinto Pesquera remains a beacon of craftsmanship and innovation. Each vintage is a true reflection of its year and vineyard plot, thanks to a thoughtful blend of time‑honoured practices and modern technology. Visitors today can explore the original stone press, wander the estate’s sun‑baked vineyards and take part in immersive experiences that unveil the winery’s secrets. At Tinto Pesquera, the door is always open to anyone curious about the magic of Ribera del Duero.
