The winery was born of a handshake in a vineyard in 1998, when longtime colleagues and friends Steve Dutton and Dan Goldfield recognized this shared vision.\r\n\r\nWarren Dutton, Steve’s father, began growing grapes in the western reaches of Russian River Valley, and was the first to plant chardonnay in its coldest corners, in the mid-1960s, at a time when most people thought the area was too cool to grow fruit for quality still wine. Dutton Ranch enjoys this legacy with a choice collection of 80 vineyards today, from which Dutton-Goldfield receives the best possible quality of grapes each harvest.\r\n\r\nFrom their favorite Dutton Ranch parcels, Steve and Dan select the vineyards that will blend together to become quintessential Russian River expressions. They then choose a few special sites that epitomize their terroir to bottle in limited-production single-vineyard wines. Dutton-Goldfield’s pinots have balance and individuality, and elicit the flavors of the piece of earth from which they come. The chardonnays are from the old, cold, dry-farmed vineyards of Green Valley that provide a vibrant citrus core, focused fruit, great richness and solid acidity, even after full barrel and malolactic fermentation.

Convinced that the quality potential was immense as long as yield and selection were carefully controlled, they surprised local growers by insisting on a new way of working the La Mancha vineyards. By sourcing fruit through long-term contracts with growers focused on low yields and precise harvesting, the family ensures first-rate La Mancha grapes give rise year after year to fine wines with unparalleled wine aromas and flavors. \r\n\r\nAcross their four bodegas, the family’s only exception to pure Tempranillo varietal wines is El Vínculo’s Alejairén.

From the mo-ment a young and determined Alejandro Fernández and Esperanza Rivera bought a small winery, the family has been linked to a lifelong passion passed through the generations. Propelled by the conviction that wines of superb quality could once again be made in their hometown, they went against the movement of the time, when cereal and beetroot dominated the landscape, and planted Tempranillo vineyards in Pesquera de Duero. In 1972, in a modest 16th century stone llagar, or ancient wine press, the family began to produce the first Tinto Pesquera wines.\r\n\r\nTinto Pesquera’s 200 hectares of vineyards sit near the Duero River, in the province of Valladolid, at close to 2,400 feet in elevation. The vines grow in poor, well-drained soils, composed of sand and gravel over a limestone and clay subsoil. This ideal combination produces the legendary silky and sumptuous Tempranillo wines of Tinto Pesquera iconic to the D.O. Ribera del Duero., the designation that Alejandro helped to create in 1982 with another few fellow pioneers.\r\n\r\nAt Tinto Pesquera, the Fernández Rivera family is focused exclusively on creating aged Tem-pranillo wines of exceptional quality from their estate-owned vineyards. With extended bar-rel aging in neutral oak, forever respectful to the fruit, over time Tinto Pesquera’s wines become more complex and nuanced without losing their original character. Years of experience working solely with Tempranillo and a firm commitment to time, waiting to release wines only when they are deemed ready to be enjoyed, have made Tinto Pesquera synonymous with fine wine from Ribera del Duero.","logo_url":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/media.sevenfifty.com/producers_supplier_company_profiles/logos/medium/680/FFR_Bodega_Pesquera.png?1584479301","profile_url":"/b/tinto-pesquera"}]}],"default_images":null,"products":null},{"type":"footer","social_media":{"website":"http://www.foliowine.com","facebook_url":"https://www.facebook.com/@FolioFineWinePartners","twitter_url":"https://www.twitter.com/@FolioWine","linkedin_url":null,"instagram_url":"https://www.instagram.com/@foliofinewine"}}],"portfolio_path":"/search?all_vendors=true\u0026searched_from=marketplace-storefronts\u0026supplier_company_profile=36","possible_buyer_relationship":false,"account_already_confirmed":false,"owner_is_vendor":false,"completed_account_application":false,"account_applications_disabled_and_does_not_use_ians":false,"account_application_cta_json":{"uses_ians":false,"aa_cta_image":"//d2510cgyzu7yiu.cloudfront.net/assets/handshake-icon-e68f660499699ba5f3ca2d74a340d7893143a3b9e77251b33cbbf98c1ef840da.png","aa_modal_application_image":"//d2510cgyzu7yiu.cloudfront.net/assets/application-97279b6cb9ea1f19e20304ddcb59e180f4ad6004248a47ac9caf34c945c1803b.png","aa_modal_success_image":"//d2510cgyzu7yiu.cloudfront.net/assets/check-e1b7bd2cd2f57032eeb99927f927087e46de9e91a74e54b7074c945e541c3cf7.png","aa_cta_link":"","find_account_number_link":null},"in_zone":null,"social_media":{"website":"http://www.foliowine.com","facebook_url":"https://www.facebook.com/@FolioFineWinePartners","twitter_url":"https://www.twitter.com/@FolioWine","linkedin_url":null,"instagram_url":"https://www.instagram.com/@foliofinewine"},"marketing_hub_id":1972,"owner_edit_path":"https://www.sevenfifty.com/profile/edit","producers_index_path":"https://www.sevenfifty.com/producers_supplier_companies","supplier_hub":null,"default_image_urls":{"single_component_component_collection":"//d2510cgyzu7yiu.cloudfront.net/assets/marketing_hubs/banner_4-adfdef1555d4ec72b875bc3ac294e9b9f65a19cda35a0503c20c813897292347.jpg","product_list":["//d2510cgyzu7yiu.cloudfront.net/assets/marketing_hubs/product_list_product_0-52c29517beac094bd171990854d5a49991d7ecee4f3d3dcad8118fccb78e6d88.png","//d2510cgyzu7yiu.cloudfront.net/assets/marketing_hubs/product_list_product_1-9b7d5620230e6debea017c1899533fabde759a0af357c9b9dd657f4e139d27a7.png","//d2510cgyzu7yiu.cloudfront.net/assets/marketing_hubs/product_list_product_2-0e70992c8bb368a910a96e692a45551a398d3f0ac4d8f95f95013c52a47f30a0.png","//d2510cgyzu7yiu.cloudfront.net/assets/marketing_hubs/product_list_product_3-5ddf40688f0a05f64cbb13a4843a50a54e0499ca181b8374be9826113d946512.png"],"multi_component_component_collection":["//d2510cgyzu7yiu.cloudfront.net/assets/marketing_hubs/featured_lists_component_0-de43c0e61e8fba0dc97352a9fdfeb4c7dc49bd5d538207bb8cd208cf4f3d446b.png","//d2510cgyzu7yiu.cloudfront.net/assets/marketing_hubs/featured_lists_component_1-d38677792d627c281b68bcbc9e4b603104cc67ef77d345601dd0e9051f3eecbf.png","//d2510cgyzu7yiu.cloudfront.net/assets/marketing_hubs/featured_lists_component_2-e72d7faac569b5c8a1396b0adc5d98332e80e45202a919e2149ec397241cda34.png","//d2510cgyzu7yiu.cloudfront.net/assets/marketing_hubs/featured_lists_component_3-2b1f0d22042e812733b4302daf8deaeb690b8184045bfb58de78d92731aad9fa.png"]},"template_name_map":{"cta":"Call to action","text_and_left_image":"Text and left image","text_and_right_image":"Text and right image","header_and_text":"Header and text","product_list":"Product list","banner":"Banner","featured_lists":"Featured lists"},"display_add_to_cart_widget":null,"flash_hash":{"alert":null,"notice":null,"success":null},"global_marketing_hub_url":null,"current_market_name":null,"existing_markets_marketing_hubs":[{"marketing_hub_id":1972,"name":"Global Site","url":"https://buyer.sevenfifty.com/marketing_hubs/1972","zones":[]}],"available_marketing_hub_zones":null,"share_url_path":"/sc/folio-fine-wine-partners","can_manage_markets":false,"update_path":"/sc/folio-fine-wine-partners/about","home_page_name":"Home","new_page_name":"New Page","edit_help_button_url":"https://support.provi.com/s/","vendor_contacts":[],"buyer_vendor_edit_path":null}
