The grapes were meticulously selected. After gentle destemming and crushing, the grapes underwent alcoholic fermentation at temperatures below 28°C. After 19 days of fermentation and maceration, the wine underwent malolactic conversion in French oak barrels with weekly bâtonnage over two months. The wine was aged 16 months in new French oak barrels (75%) and the remainder in second-use French oak. The wine was racked three times using traditional methods.

| Winery | The 100% Tinta del País grapes come from the Fuentecojo, La Cueva and Otero Jovenvineyards surrounding the winery in Anguix and Burgos in Ribera del Duero. They are planted on silt-loam soils at 780 metres, where warm days and cool nights produce balanced fruit with concentrated flavours and natural balancing acidity. Áster is committed to respecting and protecting the environment. In the vineyard, treatments are limited, investments have been made into clean energy sources, and water is reused. Insect shelters have been installed in vineyards, promoting environmentally friendly plant health defence while increasing the biodiversity in the vineyard. The grapes are hand-harvested at optimal ripeness. |
