Bodegas Hermanos Pecina "Finca Iscorta" Gran Reserva Rioja DOCa 2015 (Rioja, Spain) - [VM 94] [WA 94]

About the Winery: Bodegas Hermanos Peciña was founded in 1992 by Pedro Peciña Crespo with his three children in a small winery located outside of San Vicente de la Sonsierra. Bodega Hermanos Peciña currently grows 50 Ha of their own vineyards in San Vicente de la Sonsierra and the surrounding area. These vineyards are located on the northeast side of the Ebro river, near the border of the Basque Alavesa zone. They fall at the foothills of the Sierra Cantabria Mountains at an average of 500 meters, and offer hillside expositions as well as complex and diverse soils. Rioja’s traditional school of winemaking reigned from the 1850s until the 1980s, producing some of the world’s most consistently complex, soul-satisfying wines. But few of the historic bodegas have remained purely traditional. And today, apart from López de Heredia and La Rioja Alta, who is left to carry the torch of the past’s silky, Burgundian reds? Hermanos Peciña remains one of the most traditional wineries in Rioja.
