Viña Sastre Crianza 2022 is a red wine produced in La Horra, one of the most emblematic areas of the Denominación de Origen Ribera del Duero. Crafted by the renowned Bodegas Hermanos Sastre, this wine embodies the essence of a privileged region and a family that has masterfully interpreted the character of its vineyards.
Viña Sastre Crianza 2022 has a very distinctive personality in the D.O. Ribera del Duero, and this is evident from the very first moment. This red wine, crafted entirely from Tempranillo, reflects the character of La Horra and the meticulous work of a winery that pays attention to every detail without losing naturality. Its ageing in French and American oak barrels, with some of them new, provides that serious and well-integrated touch that perfectly matches this style.
The grapes come from plots situated at over 800 metres above sea level, such as Las Navas, Fuentenarro, Valdelayegua, Carrasantamaría, Carranguix and Las Tenadas. These are vineyards over 60 years old, cultivated traditionally, in an environment of extreme climate and poor soils. All of this results in a highly expressive raw material, with the concentration so typical of the great reds of the region.
Behind it stands Bodegas Hermanos Sastre, a family venture that is a benchmark in Ribera del Duero, with Jesús María Sastre overseeing the winemaking. Their approach to wine combines respect for the vineyard, artisanal craftsmanship, and a clear vision of quality. Viña Sastre Crianza 2022 embodies this philosophy perfectly: origin, balance and craftsmanship.

My vision comes from a lifetime devoted to wine; I grew up caring for the vines in the old vineyards of La Horra. That is where my passion for wine, quality and the relentless pursuit of excellence comes from. Viña Sastre was created to craft wines with their own identity, special wines achieved only by combining an exceptional terroir, the right climatic conditions, and the fusion of traditional winemaking with the most advanced technology. A passion that has become a way of life — my life and that of my family.
