WINE DESCRIPTION
Astrales Ribera del Duero is a premium red wine produced by Bodegas Astrales in the Ribera del Duero appellation of Spain. The vineyards are located at high altitudes, which results in a cooler climate and slower ripening of the grapes, leading to a more complex and nuanced flavor profile. The winemaking process involves careful selection of the grapes, followed by fermentation in stainless steel tanks and aging in French oak barrels. The resulting wine is full-bodied, with intense aromas of dark fruit, spices, and vanilla. It has a smooth and velvety texture, with well-integrated tannins and a long, satisfying finish. Overall, Astrales Ribera del Duero is a sophisticated and elegant wine that showcases the best of the region's terroir and winemaking traditions.
