Áster El Espino 2023, a new expression of Ribera del Duero
Discover Áster El Espino 2023, the third vintage of this very special wine from Bodegas Áster, presented by Stéphane Desmarquest, Export Director, and Miguel Muela, Winemaker.
A vintage that coincides with Miguel Muela’s first harvest leading this project and that reinforces the personality of a wine created to showcase a contemporary vision of Ribera del Duero, while always preserving the essence and identity of its origin.
Áster El Espino comes from a unique 7.9-hectare vineyard plot, with a soil profile that differs from the rest of the vineyards at our winery in Anguix (Burgos): a predominantly sandy terrain that provides the wine with extraordinary finesse, freshness and tension. A distinctive character that allows us to create a more elegant, fluid and expressive Ribera del Duero.
Made with 100% Tinta del País and aged for 12 months in French oak barrels of different sizes, Áster El Espino 2023 stands out for its aromatic delicacy, its fruity and floral notes, its balance and the freshness that defines its personality.
A seductive, elegant wine with great ageing potential, although it is currently at a perfect moment to be enjoyed.
As Miguel Muela explains:
“It is a wine with a very characteristic freshness from where we are, with great drinkability. You don’t need a special food pairing; all you need is a good conversation to ask for another bottle.”
A new expression of Ribera del Duero through a contemporary perspective.
