Wine profile
Description
Bodegas Áster belongs to the La Rioja Alta SA group. In the late 1980s they began studying soils and selecting the best estates in what was then the emerging Ribera del Duero. In 1993 they acquired old vines and started new plantings. The first Áster was born in 2000.
With a Mediterranean profile and challenging weather throughout the cycle. A spring with irregular rainfall gave way to a dry summer with high temperatures and moderate water stress, which favoured ripening and concentration of flavour in the grapes. A very high-quality harvest, shorter than previous years, with wines of great intensity, concentration, aromatic complexity and remarkable ageing potential. Officially rated EXCELLENT.
James Suckling: A solid wine, showing ripe yet fresh plums, cherries and fine, toasty spice. Medium to full-bodied, with structured, fine-grained tannins. A long, firm finish.
