TASTING NOTES

LOOK: Picota cherry red colour with an intense and shiny layer. 

SMELL: Fruity aromas and well-integrated wood notes. Perfectly balanced with notes of black fruits such as blackcurrant and blackberry, to which aromas of liquorice and spicy notes are added, intermingling with coffee notes. 

TASTE: A broad, full-bodied wine, which fills the palate with its range of flavours and aromas. It has a fine and elegant mouthfeel, is well structured and has tannins that will make this wine continue to develop in the bottle. 

SERVING TEMPERATURE: From 12 ºC to 14 ºC. 

CONSUMPTION: With good ageing potential, it can be enjoyed until approximately 2025. Due to its natural production process, which does not involve any manipulation or filtration, it is advisable to decant at least 45 minutes before serving. 

PAIRINGS: Ideal for accompanying all kinds of meat such as red meat, white meat and roasts. The perfect accompaniment to game dishes, as well as soups and stews.

The Story

The Millenium red wine is made only with excellent vintages and it comes from Viña Alta, the oldest estate planted by Alejandro Fernández in Pesquera de Duero in the late 1960s. This wine is the only wine that Familia Fernández Rivera ages in French oak barrels.

Pesquera Millenium Reserva 2008 / Dark cherry red in color with notes of mixed berries and licorice wrapped in sleek oak, vanilla and roasted coffee, the palate is fine and elegant, with impressive smoothness.

2008 was the vintage of extended grape maturation. Winter was much warmer than usual and incredibly arid - the tail end of an acrimonious dry spell that had begun the previous autumn. Spring began in the same fashion, before the welcomed rain fell during April and May, quenching the drought-ridden vineyards with much-needed water. Summer began with light rain in early August and was cooler than usual, allowing for a slower phenolic maturation of the grape clusters. Harvest, which was delayed until October, was performed in ideal conditions thanks to a cool, dry September, prompting the Tinto Pesquera team to produce its fourth vintage of the esteemed Millenium Reserva.

Alcoholic fermentation of the Millenium Reserva took place between 6-10 days at an average temperature of 20-25°C. The resulting wine was then aged for 30 months in fine grain, 225- and 300-liter French oak barrels with a light-to-medium toast. Barrels were racked four times during the first twelve months and an additional 2-3 times per year during the second and third year of barrel aging. With the Fernández family dedicated to natural winemaking, all wines produced by Alejandro Fernández were neither filtered nor fined before the bottling, which took place on January 17, 2011. Upon completion of the barrel aging and bottling, the 2008 Millenium Reserva was then aged for an additional three years in bottle before it was released to the market.
