General Information
Located in Pedrosa de Duero, the Hermanos Pérez Pascuas vineyard covers an area of 135 hectares. The predominant variety is the native tempranillo, which represents 90% of the cultivation. Most of the vineyard is old and trained in bush vines. With vines over 40 years old and low yields (3,500 kg/ha), they produce Viña Pedrosa Gran Reserva 2014: 90% tempranillo and 10% cabernet sauvignon. Manual harvest and long aging of 24 months in oak followed by 36 more months in bottle. A long-lived wine that will show its potential over the years.
Founded by brothers Benjamín, Manuel, and Adolfo Pérez Pascuas in 1980, who decided to cultivate their father Mauro Pérez's vineyards and start producing Viña Pedrosa wines. The Pérez Pascuas brothers were pioneers in promoting Ribera del Duero as a quality wine region. They, together with a handful of wineries, created the Regulatory Council of the D.O. Ribera del Duero in 1982. Today, Hermanos Pérez Pascuas is recognized as one of the most iconic and prestigious wineries in Ribera del Duero, with strong presence in both national and international markets.
Creators' opinion
Limpio, vestido, muy bien cubierto de capa, rojo picota oscuro con tonos carmín y suaves ladrillos, con vivos reflejos de juventud. Brillante.
Complejidad en esta fase olfativa. Elegante ‘bouquet’ de crianza con tonos de frutos maduros; evoluciona muy bien en la copa, va creciendo.
Amplio, taninos maduros, opulento y graso, envolvente, de gran estructura. Tonos de crianza en madera y en botella. También se recuerdan matices especiados.

The winery
The three brothers Pérez Pascuas (Benjamín, Manuel, and Adolfo) were pioneers in championing Ribera del Duero as a region for producing quality wines. Thus, in 1980, they separated from the cooperative in their hometown, Pedrosa de Duero (Burgos), to establish their own winery and supported the creation of the new Denomination of Origin, participating in the foundation of the Regulatory Council in 1982. Today, Hnos. Pérez Pascuas - popularly known as Viña Pedrosa - is one of the most important wineries in Ribera del Duero and a prestigious international brand, recognized as one of the world's top 100 wineries in 2013 by the influential American magazine ‘Wine&Spirits’.
True to a philosophy that focuses on working exclusively with their own vineyards: one of the oldest vineyards in Ribera del Duero, passed down through generations; and which preserves its family character.
