BODEGAS ALEJANDRO FERNÁNDEZ

Alejandro Fernandez, the founder of the winery, was a self-made winemaker who, following the family tradition learned from his father, started making wine from the grapes of his small vineyards until in 1972, when he managed to establish his own winery. Some 10 years later, the wines began to show their excellent quality, and he became one of the most well-known and respected wine producers and, in Pesquera, a legendary name.

His wines are the result of a lifetime of hard work and capture and transmit the strength, structure, and complexity of the Ribera del Duero region. A family that controls day by day every step of the process, from the care of the vineyard, the harvest, the elaboration, the ageing, to the commercialisation, while remaining faithful to their roots and their traditional values.
