Tinto Pesquera Millenium Gran Reserva 2018 is a wine that personifies the excellence and prestige of the Familia Fernández Rivera winery, an oenological jewel that comes from the emblematic region of Ribera del Duero, in Spain. This Gran Reserva is a testimony of the winery's commitment to quality and the expression of terroir, reflecting the mastery and passion that characterize its creators.

Meticulous attention in the vineyard, combined with manual harvesting and rigorous grape selection, ensures that only the best fruits are used for this wine.
After fermentation, the wine is aged in American and French oak barrels, where it acquires notable complexity and depth, without losing the identity and freshness that characterize Tempranillo from Ribera del Duero. This prolonged aging in the barrel, followed by rest in the bottle, allows the wine to develop exceptional harmony and elegance.
Visually, Tinto Pesquera Millenium Gran Reserva 2018 presents itself with a deep cherry red color, with garnet nuances that denote its evolution in the bottle. On the nose, the wine displays a rich aromatic palette where notes of ripe black fruits, such as blackberries and plums, intertwine with hints of spice, vanilla and cocoa, the result of its aging in barrels. These aromas are complemented by subtle balsamic and earthy notes, which add complexity and depth.
In the mouth, the wine reveals its true greatness: it is powerful, but at the same time elegant and balanced. The tannins are ripe and silky, providing a firm structure that portends excellent aging potential. The acidity is well integrated, providing freshness and liveliness, and the flavors of ripe fruits intertwine with the spicy and balsamic notes perceived on the nose, leading to a long and persistent finish.
