Viña Sastre Pago de Santa Cruz Gran Reserva 2016 is a wine with personality, depth and an uncompromising approach to quality. Made from 100% Tempranillo from ancient vines planted at over 800 meters altitude in Ribera del Duero, this is a wine for the discerning wine lover who seeks structure, complexity and elegance in one glass.
Matured for 30 months in French and American oak barrels, the 2016 vintage displays a fine balance between fruit and barrel. On the nose, the wine opens with intense aromas of dark cherries, blackcurrants and blackberries, which elegantly blend with notes of cedar, tobacco and vanilla. The flavor profile is deep and powerful, where ripe berries meet spicy nuances and subtle tones of chocolate and licorice. The tannins are ripe and polished, giving the wine a silky structure and a long, harmonious finish with an exciting earthy touch.
Viña Sastre Pago de Santa Cruz Gran Reserva 2016 is an obvious choice for aged cheese, game and beef, but also serves as a contemplative pleasure in its own right. It is a wine produced in very limited quantities and never compromises on detail – a flagship from Bodegas Hermanos Sastre and a reflection of the vineyard’s unique terroir.
An obvious collector's item – or an unforgettable wine experience right now.
