Wine

Alejandro Fernández is the living image of a self-made man. He had always dreamt of setting up his own winery and making great red wines while he was making a living doing different jobs as a young man. Following on from the family tradition learnt from his father, Alejandro made wine each year from the grapes of his small vineyards. However, he had to wait until 1972 to have his own real winery. It had a small 16th century winepress where almost the whole process was conducted. Ten years would pass before the Tinto Pesquera winery was modernized to look more or less the same as it does today. The ancient winepress, however, still survives to this day.

More than 200 hectares of beautiful vineyards supply the winery. Some vines grow on gravel terraces and others on high tablelands (like the "Llano Santiago" vineyard at over 1,000 metres above sea level). All of them provide their nuances to the renowned Pesquera red wines. All the vineyards are planted with Tempranillo vines, the "queen of grapes" and the delicate variety in which Alejandro is a master.
