One of my all time favorite wines.. From the region of Ribera del Duero, Spain.
The main grape is Tinta del Pais aka Tempranillo in the rest of Spain. Gran Reserva means it's aged at least for 5 years, 2 of them in Oak. They also include Cabernet Sauvignon grapes as a blend with Tinta del Pais. Even thought Vega Sicilia makes the most expensive wine in Spain, I still personally prefer Pesquera.
