Rated 92 Points by Wine Advocate
The 2013 Señorío de P. Peciña Reserva has freshness and elegance and a lot of characteristics of traditional Rioja. 2013 was a challenging year, but it also provided good conditions to produce fresher wines. This was produced with a soft vinification, not too extractive or long, with indigenous yeasts in stainless steel and matured in used American oak barrels for three years with rackings every six months. It has the telltale aromas of spices and balsam (cigar ash, incense), wet forest floor and wild berries. The palate is sleek and polished, with resolved tannins and good acidity. It should drink nicely for a good five years and stay on a plateau of maturity for longer. 42,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in December 2017.
Senorio De P. Pecina Rioja Reserva 2013
Elaborated from the finest grapes from our vineyards in San Vicente de la sonsierra, calcareous clay soil, the grapes are destemmed and crushed and fermented naturally with wild yeast in stainless steel tanks.
It has been resting for 36 months in used American oak barrels. In this time, we have done six rackings (once every 6 months) by means of the traditional method, “barrel to barrel”, achieving a natural decantation. After being in bottle for a minimum of 18 months, the wine finds its balance and it is ready for consumption.
The wine is bottled unfined and unfiltered.

Senorio De P. Pecina Rioja Reserva Description
Bodegas Hermanos Peciña S.L.
San Vicente de la Sonsierra · La Rioja
Bodegas Hermanos Peciña S.L. was founded in 1992 by Pedro Peciña Crespo with his three children in a small winery in the center of San Vicente de la sonsierra, where only “cosechero” wine was elaborated. In 1997 the firm began a new phase, with the inauguration of the new bodega and the elaboration of white wines and aged red wines: Crianzas, Reservas, Gran Reservas.
Pedro´s grape growing accumulated experience over the years and a historical old school bodega was useful to launch his project under his leadership.
The bodega has 50 hectares of their own vineyards, an installation to handle 1.000.000 kilos of grapes, 4.500 American oak barrels fitted in three cellars and two aging stores for 500.000 bottles.
Since its founding, investments in new projects have been increasing every year:
The Zone
Bodegas Hermanos Peciña S.L. is located in the heart of Rioja Alta, more specifically in Sonsierra Riojana, where the vine growing tradition dates back several centuries. In fact, throughout the area we can find numerous stone wine presses hewn out of the rock and situated next to the vineyards.
Sonsierra is a prime area for the vine growing, set among the peaks of the Sierra Cantabria and the banks of the Ebro River, where the Atlantic and Mediterranean climates coexist to give a microclimate that produces unique and unbeatable grapes.
The ground composition is of calcareous-clay with a high proportion of limestone, that allows us to obtain glycerin extract, very important for the elaboration of our wines, which brings softness and volume in the mouth and small amount of potassium to get an adequate acidity.
The microclimate of our geographical location, which comprises only about 40 square kilometres, provides our wines essential features. The North wind avoids pests and rots, the daylight time has an average of 2800 hours / year and the rainfall (500mm per year) is perfect, forcing the plant to suffer water stress and getting smaller grains with higher concentrations of sugar and colouring matter.
The altitude of our vineyards ranges from 475 to 600 meters, allowing a phased and uniform harvest and obtaining the benefits of the different vineyards altitude. Since we pick up the lowest vineyard to the highest one, the duration of a harvest campaign takes around 25 days.
