Tinto Pesquera MXI 2020
First created in 2016, the Tinto Pesquera MXI 'Selección de Barricas' is an exciting new project for the current generation of the Fernández Rivera family. Made from 100% Tempranillo grapes that were were grown at an altitude of 900 metres in what is known as 'El Monte Alto de Pesquera' or 'the Highlands of Pesquera' MXI was matured for 14 months in carefully chosen barrels that were toasted to a medium char. It displays lovely fresh aromas with hints of red berries and black fruits alongside creamy notes and subtle oak brought by the wine’s ageing in barrel. The palate is full bodied, fruity and flavoursome, with well-integrated acidity and rounded tannins. Vanilla and smooth toffee notes come through in the finish on the lengthy palate.
