General Information
The story of Viña Sastre Crianza 2021 begins on the slopes of the La Horra area, at over 800 meters altitude, where old vineyards over 60 years old of tempranillo grapes, better known in Ribera del Duero as tinta del país, are planted.
A vineyard cultivated with respect that has withstood the test of time, showcasing its best attributes thanks to the expertise of Bodegas Hermanos Sastre. A family of winemakers who have paved the way in Ribera del Duero. Their wines are present in restaurants worldwide as flag bearers of this D.O. The respect for nature and the environment and the artisanal cultivation, hallmarks of Viña Sastre, allow the tempranillo from the firm's vineyards in La Horra (Burgos) to show all its splendor and express itself with purity.
Fruit, power, maturity, and complexity are the qualities that define the red wine Viña Sastre Crianza 2021 (D.O. Ribera del Duero), a reflection of the vineyards from which it comes. It is sourced from clusters subjected to a double selection, in the field and in the winery, selected from various plots located in the municipality of La Horra: Las Navas, Fuentenarro, Valdelayegua, Carrasantamaría Carranguix, and Las Tenadas. It will be the perfect companion to meats such as roasted beef loin or lamb sweetbreads with garlic.
Creators' opinion
Viña Sastre Crianza presenta un bello color cereza picota, con ribetes granates de alta intensidad. En nariz es muy potente y complejo, destacando la madurez de la uva con aromas de fruta negra, cacao, los tostados de la madera y tonos especiados (canela, nuez moscada, pimienta negra y algo de vainilla). En boca es suave y goloso, muy frutal, con sensaciones de fruta negra, finos tostados y maderas aromáticas, con un final muy largo y complejo. En definitiva es un vino que expresa bien su origen para consumir ahora y dentro de muchos años.
Mi visión nace de una vida dedicada al vino; crecí al cuidado de la cepa, en los viejos viñedos de la Horra. De ahí mi pasión por el vino, por la calidad, por la búsqueda incansable de la excelencia. Viña Sastre surge para elaborar vinos con carácter propio, vinos especiales que sólo se consiguen mezclando un buen terruño, con unas condiciones climatológicas adecuadas y combinando la forma tradicional de hacer las cosas con la tecnología más avanzada. Una pasión que se ha convertido en una forma de vida, mi vida y la de mi familia.
The 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'.
