Meaty and Smokey aromas are about to fill the streets. Barbecue clouds to cover the atmosphere. People talking loudly and laughing their hearts out.
Well, these are moments everyone on the island of Cyprus can relate to, whether Tsiknopempti, Easter or just another regular sunny Sunday!
A perfect pair to any off-the-grill food is Ribera del Duero wine. More specifically, go for big, bold and textured reds with plenty of rich, old-world sensibility.
This region is responsible for creating powerful, fruit-driven Tempranillo reds, not only crafted to age while developing complexity over time but balancing acidity too.
Specifically, try tasting wines made from the father of Ribera del Duero wines, Mr Alejandro Fernández, who according to Mr Robert Parker (aka the most famous wine critic on planet earth), has created few of the best wines in the world!
Owning now 4 different wineries (Tinto Pesquera, Condado de Haza, Dehesa la Granja, El Vinculo) the house has managed to offer red wine lovers, wines with honour, depth, heritage and above all, value-for-money and passion for quality.
Completely indifferent of fashion trends, Alejandro Fernández has been listening to his heart while adapting an unconventional winemaking technic, leaving wines unfiltered, true to their aromas and character.
“(Familia Fernandez River) has shown that when you have a magnificent microclimate and respect for tradition, the land and your roots, you can produce the best wines in the world.”
