Founded by Pedro Pecina Gil in 1992 after his long tenure as a master viticulturalist at La Rioja Alta, the winery immediately focused on farming high-altitude vineyards in Rioja Alavesa to produce wines of profound finesse and structure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTheir philosophy is simple: patience and tradition. They prioritise vineyard health and low yields, followed by extended aging in mostly neutral American oak barrels and, critically, long bottle aging before release. The result is a savoury, ethereal style of Rioja that is immediately drinkable upon release but capable of decades in the cellar.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"hermanos-pecina-rioja-crianza","title":"Hermanos Peciña Rioja Crianza 2019","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Rioja Crianza is the foundation of the Hermanos Peciña portfolio, offering a perfect introduction to their refined, traditional style of Rioja. While many modern Crianzas aim for power, Peciña's focus is on finesse, balance, and purity - qualities rooted in their high-altitude vineyards in Rioja Alavesa. A blend primarily of Tempranillo, complemented by small amounts of Garnacha and Graciano, sourced from old vines, this Crianza far exceeds the legal aging requirements. It spends approximately 24 months in old, neutral American oak barrels and then a further 18 months in bottle before release. On the nose the wine displays aromas of dried red cherry, wild strawberry, tobacco leaf, and subtle spice from the American oak. The palate is medium-bodied and perfectly balanced. The texture is smooth and supple, driven by lively acidity and fine, silky tannins. The flavours lean towards savory red fruits and dried herbs, leading to a long, elegant finish.

This Reserva is a true expression of their philosophy, showcasing why patience and gentle ageing yield wines of such profound character. The wine is elaborated from the finest Tempranillo, Garnacha and Graciano grapes grown on Peciña's own vineyards in San Vicente de la sonsierra. The wine matured for 36 months in used American oak barrels and during this time it was racked (once every 6 months) by means of the traditional method, “barrel to barrel”, achieving a natural decantation. The wine is then bottled unfined and unfiltered. After being in bottle for a minimum of 18 months, the wine finds its balance and it is ready for consumption. The nose displays seductive aromas of dried red cherry, balsamic notes, worn leather, cigar box, and sweet spice (dill, vanilla) from the long tenure in American oak. On the palate it is the texture which is the standout feature: velvety, silky, and seamless. The flavours echo the nose, moving from dried fruit to savoury secondary notes, concluding with a very long, refined finish. This wine is drinking beautifully now after its bottle age but has the backbone to reward patient cellaring for another decade.
