Information:

Unique, full of passion and emotion. Wines that, with every sip, proudly confirm their origin in the heart of the Ribera del Duero: a terroir where endearing and unforgettable sensations and moments are born.

In the late 1980s, we focused on an emerging and privileged wine-growing region, studying its soils and selecting the best location to produce great wines. Since 1993, we have acquired old vineyards like El Otero and begun new plantings.

In 2000, after years of experimentation in the vineyard and the winery, we presented the first Áster wines. We delved deeper into our knowledge of the vineyard and refined the renowned personality of our brands.

Today, as a result of our restlessness and constant pursuit of excellence, we continue to renew ourselves with wines in a classic style (Finca El Otero and Áster) and a modern style (Áster El Espino) that give us a taste of 21st-century Ribera del Duero.

Wine making:

100% Tinta del País from El Espino plot in the Anguix (Burgos) area (7,9 ha), located at an altitude of about 800 m in a dry and low-fertility area. Loamy-sandy soil.

The harvest was done manually in 20 kg boxes, selecting the best grapes on optical sorting tables. Cold maceration helped to highlight varietal aromas and the vibrant colors produced during the grape ripening process. After alcoholic fermentation, 50% of the wine completed malolactic fermentation in tanks and the other 50% in second-use French oak barrels. Aging in 20% new French oak barrels for 12 months with two manual rackings. After four months blending in the tank, it was bottled in May 2023.

Description:

Nose: Intense ruby color with high depth and purple-pink rim. On the nose, it stands out for its high intensity, highlighting notes of forest fruits, redcurrant, cranberries, and plum, which intermingle with light aromas from barrel aging: ground coffee, licorice, and sweet peppers. 

Taste: Its passage through the mouth is fresh, balanced, with good body thanks to soft and delicate tannins. A new concept in our Ribera del Duero wines at an optimal moment for enjoyment.

Wine pairing:

Recommended to enjoy by the glass, as an aperitif or to be served with pasta, rice dishes, sushi, light meats and fish.
