Winery | El Espino is from a selection of Finca Áster's estate vines that seek to combine power and finesse and showcase the distinctive Ribera del Duero terroir. The Tinta del País (Tempranillo) grapes come from an 87-hectare patchwork of plots with varying slopes, aspects and soils, all contributing to the complexity and diversity of this wine. Finca 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. |
