Lamb chops off the grill, and a table that runs long. Pour it while the fire's still going — plush, savory, sappy to the end.

THE STORY

About this wine

Full-bodied yet smooth and juicy — a 100% Tinta del País (Tempranillo) Crianza from old vines in La Horra, Burgos, hand-harvested, fermented on native yeast in stainless steel, and aged fourteen months in French and American oak. Blackberry and raspberry fruit over cocoa, vanilla, and warm spice.

Viña Sastre Crianza is produced by Bodegas Hermanos Sastre in La Horra, Burgos, within the Ribera del Duero D.O. The 2020 wine is made from manually harvested grapes, fermented with native yeast in stainless steel, and aged for 14 months in French and American oak, followed by bottle aging. The producer describes artisan viticulture without mineral fertilizers, herbicides, or insecticides.

Worth knowing

The vines average around sixty years old and sit at 800–830 metres of elevation — yet the Crianza still runs to roughly 90,000 bottles a year. It spends its fourteen months in French and American oak, 70% of it new.

CHARACTERISTICS AND TASTING TIPS OF THE Viña Sastre Ribera del Duero Crianza 2020

Tasting

Color: Intense garnet rims around deep picota cherry in the glass.
Nose: Powerful and complex. Blackberry and other black fruit lead, over cocoa, toasted oak, and vanilla — cinnamon, nutmeg, and black pepper rise through it all, framed by scented French and American oak.
Palate: Full-bodied, smooth, and juicy all at once. Plush blackberry and raspberry on a luscious texture, tannins fleshy, structure solid underneath.

Pairs Beautifully With

A must try with grilled lamb
A must try with roasted red meats and game
A must try with cured cheeses
