Bodegas Hermanos Peciña
Bodegas Hermanos Peciña
Rioja, Spain
Bodegas Hermanos Peciña is a winery founded in 1992 by Pedro Peciña, the former agronomist for La Rioja Alta.
The family farms sustainably farms 50 hectares of vineyards in Rioja Alta, tending care to their 40-60 year old vines growing at 500 meters at the foothills of the Sierra Cantabria Mountains. After hand harvesting and native fermentation, the single parcels are aged in older American oak barrels before resting for an extended period in the bottle prior to release. The winery is one of the only bodegas still utilizing the labour-intensive traditional trasiego system in the winery. Every six months the wine is manually racked using only gravity and decanting from barrel to barrel without agitation or pumping, thus very slowing separating the clear wine from the lees, and keeping the wine’s full character intact. These are thoughtful and current wines made with ample respect to Rioja’s historical winemaking traditions.

Bodegas Hermanos Peciña is firmly planted in traditional Rioja, one of perhaps a dozen of producers adhering to the tenets passed down through generations. This includes long aging in mostly neutral American oak, regular open-air racking by hand (called trasiego), and then further aging in bottle often well beyond the specifications required by the DO. Founder Pedro Peciña had over two decades of working in Rioja Alta before opening his own Bodega in 1992. This is a blend of 95% Tempranillo, 3% Graciano, and 2% Garnacha, from Hermanos Pecina's youngest vineyards, La Veguilla and Valseca, which average 25 years in age. This was native fermented in stainless, where it aged for six months before bottling without fining or filtration.
Pouring a deep garnet hue, this is flush with red florals, downy plums, wild blackberries, thorns, and threads of balsamic. Brisk acidity works well against the tighter, fine tannins, guiding this to a lightly spiced wood finish. Drinking very well now, especially with lamb or roasted root veg. Great value.
