Hermanos Peciña

The superb Rioja winery of Hermanos Peciña has become a leading light in this beautiful vinous region in northern Spain. Located outside gorgeous San Vicente de la Sonsierra in the heart of Rioja Alta, a region known for producing some of the most elegant, profound, and long-lived expressions of Rioja, vine cultivation has been happening here since the 12th century. Hoping to carry on this proud tradition, Pedro Peciña Crespo decided to produce quintessential, velvety Rioja on his ancestral land.

The winery was created in the early ’90s when Pedro and his three adult children decided to found a small winery on the site that today houses his much grander modern facility. Pedro knew, however, that a show-stopping winery needed the best quality fruit to ferment. So, in 1997, a state-of-the-art facility was opened, followed by a further vineyard parcels acquisition in 2002. The potential was always there, but Pedro still had a lot to live up to, as his Riojan neighbors had been bottling fine wines for generations. Nevertheless, his incredibly hard work, investment, and passion have paid off; you have to try his wines to see how.

The estate produces an astonishing variety of wines that impress all who taste them with their consistency and elegance. The Gran Reserva is the blockbuster, a complex, elegant, and velvety red demanding slow appreciation. Add this to the Rioja region’s fine cuisine, leisurely pace of life, and beautiful unspoiled scenery, and you have the recipe for an enduring love affair.
