Astrales 2020

Tasting notes:

• Deep cherry colour with garnet edging.
• Elegant, powerful and very complex. Aromas of fresh fruit, caramelized apple, creams, freshly baked pastries, flowers, eucalyptus, red caramel and noble notes of its aging.
• Tasty, very lively, fleshy, balanced, broad, endowed with a great structure in the mouth, where the notes of fresh fruit stand out in the foreground very well combined with those of its elegant woods, spicy, smoked, tobacco leaf, dairy products. A great wine with life ahead.

Elaboration and Aging

This vintage of Atlantic cut the wine is full of freshness and elegance, fragrant with refined tannins, exuberant fructosity and delicate floral aromas. Made 100% by Tinto Fino grapes from various payments in Angix and Burgos (Ribera del Duero), it is aged for 18 months in French oak barrels. Small plots, old vineyards of 45 years on average, low yields, without herbicides and with the minimum possible interventions (gravity and native yeasts) make their wines represent wonderfully the terroir from which they come.


 Curiosities: Los Astrales, despite only being producing since 2000, is a winery with more than remarkable experience, that of a family dedicated to the cultivation of the vine for three generations, the Romera de la Cruz family, and that of a technical advisor of the stature  of  Eduardo García, (Eduardo is the son of Mariano García,    architect of Bodegas Mauro, Maurodos or Aalto). The latest milestone is the incorporation of José Hidalgo Togores as Technical Director in 2013. José Hidalgo, in addition to  being one of the most renowned winemakers in  Spain  , is the author of the "Tratado de Viticultura y Enología", the text used in most Oenology Schools in Spain and Latin America.
