With a more contemporary, fresh, and fruity style, the elegant Viña Sastre Acos 2018 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 grapes that compose it come from the same vineyard that supplies the coupage of Regina Vides: a fantastic vineyard at the foot of a hill named Acos. A perfect balance between the power of the fruit and the spices from the subtle low-toast French oak barrel.

Creators' opinion
Acos is a wine with an intense and sophisticated profile. Its noble origin is clearly expressed, enhanced by aging in French oak barrels with a light toast that adds distinction without overshadowing its character. On the nose, it reveals a harmonious symphony of ripe red fruits, flowers like violet, and hints of undergrowth, intertwined with delicate spicy notes, clove, and a subtle touch of cocoa. On the palate, it is enveloping and seductive, with good structure, elegance, and a vibrant acidity that balances its richness. A wine with soul and style.
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'.
