Details

Only in truly exceptional vintages, Bodegas Hermanos Sastre crafts Viña Sastre Pesus, a one-of-a-kind Spanish red wine that purports to embody the true essence of Ribera del Duero.

It is made from 80% Tinta del País (Tempranillo), with a 20% of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot.

This premium red wine from Ribera del Duero is made from very old vines, 80 to 100 years of age, grown in clay-limestone soils at 800 metres of altitude.

Traditionally vinified, Viña Sastre Pesus 2014 was fermented in tanks. Then it was transferred into oak barrels, where it completed malolactic fermentation.

After that, this reserva red wine was aged for 18 months in new French oak barrels. Finally, it was kept in the cellar for some years before hitting the market.

It is essential to decant it at least 1 hour before drinking.

Only 2,000 bottles produced.

Nose

The complexity of this blend of Tinta del País, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot is astounding. Subtle toasted and spicy notes, with aromas of dried blueberries and bilberries, deep balsamic remembrances and an intense mineral pulse.

Palate

Powerful, deep, really impressive. This reserva from Bodegas Hermanos Sastre has exquisite chiseled tannins, an amazing, hair-raising acidity and a seamless complexity which has not even peaked yet. Fine coffee and bitter cocoa, with aromatic herbs, cassis and dry earth, ending with a balsamic and mineral note that goes on forever.

Our personal opinion

A world-class wine, Viña Sastre Pesus 2014 is simply unforgettable.
