The 1970's brought the realization of a lifetime dream for a young and determined Alejandro Fernández, who came to be recognized as the "Master of Tempranillo." Propelled by his conviction that wines of superb quality could once again be made in the place of his birth, he went against the movement of the time, when cereal and beetroot dominated the landscape, and planted his Tempranillo vineyards in his hometown of Pesquera. In a modest 16th century stone lagar, or ancient wine press, he produced his first vintage of wine and named it Tinto Pesquera.

Today, Familia Fernandez Rivera includes, 4 bodegas (properties), in 3 regions, focusing on 1 varietal. You will explore the influence of the varied terroir on the Tempranillo grape when you taste 4 spectacular tempranillos side by side.
