92 points Wine Advocate
The flagship 2020 Viña Pedrosa Crianza is perfumed and has ripe fruit without excess and integrated spiciness and smoke from the élevage in barrel. It fermented with a selection of indigenous yeasts from their older vines and matured in barrel for 18 months. It has notes of peach, ripe berries, flowers and sweet spices, with a mellow palate, fine tannins and a gentle and approachable mouthfeel. 300,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in July 2022.
- Luis Gutiérrez, Wine Advocate (Jan 2023)The Pérez Pascuas brothers are one of the pioneers of Ribera del Duero, where they now have 120 hectares of vineyards and produce some 600,000 bottles per year. The wines have a classical Ribera profile.
In Pedrosa de Duero, the Pérez Pascuas family is synonymous with wine. Mauro Pérez was one of the founders of the Ribera del Duero DO in 1980. Their family estate now spans 120 hectares of organic vineyards. Nuria Peña Albillo oversees winemaking, while Daniel Pérez Herrero manages the vineyards. They craft a classic Ribera style—full-bodied, powerful wines aged patiently to tame their intensity. These vibrant yet serene wines need plenty of time before they’re at their best.
