Alejandro Fernandez is the visionary who founded Tinto Pesquera in 1978. His daughter Eva Fernandez, and head enologist for all four of the Fernandez’ properties, controls the reins at El Vinculo. It shows. This wine keeps getting better each vintage, with this being the best I’ve tasted thus far. It has a great aroma, partly due to the 15 months the wine spent in barriques, followed by brilliant, forward fruit that is big, yet balanced by firm tannins. This is an excellent wine that exceeds all expectations for the La Mancha region, which is known for inexpensive wine.
