Description
Viña Sastre Pesus is an iconic Ribera del Duero wine, carefully crafted by Bodegas Hermanos Sastre, a winemaking house with a solid reputation for its commitment to quality and tradition. This wine comes from the Valdecarmen and Bercial estates, century-old vineyards located 830 metres above sea level, on slopes facing the Duero River that favour optimal sun exposure and natural ventilation. The soils are predominantly clay-limestone, which gives the wine exceptional minerality and structure. The climate is Mediterranean with a marked continentality, characterised by warm summers and cool nights that allow the grapes to ripen slowly and evenly, preserving their acidity and enhancing their aromas.
This extraordinary wine is composed of 85% Tinta del País (Tempranillo), together with 15% Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, a blend that combines the best of Spanish tradition with an international touch that adds complexity and elegance. The grapes are harvested by hand in 12 kg crates, followed by a double selection of clusters: in the vineyard and on the sorting table in the winery. This meticulousness ensures that only the highest quality grapes are used to make the wine.
Winemaking
The winemaking of Viña Sastre Pesus follows traditional methods combined with modern techniques to preserve the purity and character of the terroir. Malolactic fermentation takes place in 100% new French oak barrels, where the wine rests for 18 months. Four rackings are carried out during the ageing process to oxygenate and refine the wine, a crucial process that enhances its aromas and stabilises its structure.
Taste
In the glass, Viña Sastre Pesus exhibits an intense cherry red colour with garnet rim, an indication of its concentration and longevity. As the nose approaches, a complex and seductive aromatic symphony is revealed, where aromas of prunes, blackberries and ripe black fruits stand out. These combine with elegant notes of roasted coffee, toffee and sweet spices such as vanilla and cinnamon from its barrel ageing. A delicate mineral background of flint and slate adds a touch of sophistication, while notes of sandalwood and thyme evoke an earthy, fresh character.
On the palate, Viña Sastre Pesus is full-bodied, enveloping and very persistent. Its velvety texture and noble tannins provide a balance between power and elegance. Flavours of black fruits, cocoa and English chocolate intertwine with hints of aromatic herbs and coffee beans, creating a long, memorable finish. It is a wine that stands out for its robust structure, capable of evolving and improving in bottle for many years, promising unforgettable moments for the most demanding wine lovers.
