With a more contemporary, fresh, and fruity style, the elegant Viña Sastre Acos 2008 was conceived by the prestigious winery based in Ribera del Duero as the modern sibling of the great Regina Vides. Not surprisingly, the tinto fino fruits that compose it come from the same vineyard that supplies the coupage for Regina Vides: a fantastic vineyard at the foot of a hill named Acos. Perfect balance between the power of the fruit and the spices from the subtle, lightly toasted French oak barrel.

Creators' opinion
Este vino presenta un color cereza intenso, con ribetes morados. En nariz es potente y complejo, con notas de fruta negra y roja, violetas y sotobosque, combinadas con apuntes especiados, clavo de olor y ligero cacao. En boca es amplio, goloso, de buen cuerpo, intenso con taninos pulidos y buena acidez que le otorga frescura. Al final destaca la fruta negra concentrada realzada con una acidez que le aporta frescura, dejando un regusto de hierbas aromáticas, muy largo y persistente. Un vino grande de una pequeña viña de Ribera del Duero. Un placer por descubrir.
The winery
Winery
Hermanos Sastre is one of the most outstanding wineries in the country. A family-run business that carries the heritage of the first winemakers of Ribera del Duero. Its origins date back three generations, when Severiano Sastre invested in the vineyards of what is now one of the most noble areas of the D.O. Ribera del Duero: La Horra (Burgos).
Ribera del Duero began building an exceptional viticultural heritage, and in 1957 participated in the creation of the Cooperativa Virgen de la Asunción. His dream of creating his own winery was realized by his son Rafael. Thus, in 1992, Bodegas Hermanos Sastre was born, already gaining the support of Rafael's sons, Pedro and Jesús.
Today, Hermanos Sastre (better known as Viña Sastre) stands as a model winery on the international scene, producing wines ranked among the best in the country, such as Pesus, Regina Vides, or Pago de Santa Cruz. Its vineyard, spanning nearly 50 hectares, has an average age of half a century; and in the vineyards surrounding the winery - in the style of Bordeaux 'châteaux' - they practice organic and biodynamic farming, in line with a philosophy of utmost respect for the 'terroir'.
