Viña Sastre Gran Reserva 2016 - Exclusive Ribera wine

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 an altitude of over 800 metres in Ribera del Duero, this is a wine for the discerning wine lover seeking structure, complexity, and elegance in one glass.

Aged for a full 30 months in French and American oak barrels, the 2016 vintage displays a refined balance between fruit and oak. On the nose, the wine opens with intense aromas of dark cherries, blackcurrants, and blackberries, which elegantly merge with notes of cedarwood, tobacco, and vanilla. The flavour profile is deep and powerful, where ripe berries meet spicy nuances and subtle notes of chocolate and liquorice. The tannins are ripe and polished, giving the wine a silky structure and a long, harmonious finish with an interesting earthy character.

Viña Sastre Pago de Santa Cruz Gran Reserva 2016 is an obvious choice for aged cheese, game, and beef, but also works as a contemplative pleasure on its own. It is a wine that is only 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.
