The truly impressive 2016 Vina Pedrosa Reserva is a textbook example of ripe Tempranillo from Ribera del Duero with the austerity of the Castilian weather and the poor limestone-rich soils that give it a chalky mouthfeel. It's juicy and a little chewy but has plenty of fruit to counterbalance those tannins, and it has grip and should do well with the regional foods like roasted lamb or suckling pig. - WA
The Perez Pascuas brothers have been producing classical Ribera del Duero wines staying faithful to their style irrespective of fashion or trends since 1980. The wines clearly reflect place, vintage and the house-style of early harvest and austere, long-lived reds. They work an impressive 135 hectares of vineyards and produce around 550,000 bottles of wine per year, raised in 3,000 oak barrels in their cellars in the village of Pedrosa de Duero.
