General Information
Halfway between the unattainable Pesus and the elegant Pago de Santa Cruz, Viña Sastre Regina Vides 2021 is one of the great red wines of Ribera del Duero. It has a very limited production and is made with tempranillo grapes from vineyards over 90 years old in the Las Tenadas plot (La Horra, Burgos). It undergoes a minimum aging of 18 months in new French oak barrels.
Popularly known as Viña Sastre, the veteran winery of La Horra, Bodegas Hermanos Sastre, has the privilege of producing an outstanding range of wines, including Pesus, Regina Vides, and the elegant Pago de Santa Cruz. The Sastre family saga dates back to the times when Severiano, grandfather of the current General Manager of the Ribera firm, Jesús, and his brother Pedro, tragically deceased in 2002, made wine in the underground caves of La Horra. His work was continued by his son Rafael, who founded the current winery in 1992.

En boca, potente, sabroso, muy frutal, bien armado en cuerpo con nobles taninos. Sensaciones de fruta negra fresca y en compota, cacao, mentoles, hierbas aromáticas, grano de café, amplio y muy persistente, lo que augura una larga vida.
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'.
