Elaboration and aging
Viña Sastre Crianza 2019 is a single-varietal wine made from Tinta del País grapes. The grapes are grown in vineyards that are 20 to 60 years old, at an altitude of 800m, on the slopes of the Duero River, in the town of Roa, which is part of the Duero Designation of Origin (D.O.). Viña Sastre Crianza is made in an artisanal manner, which means no mineral fertilizers, herbicides, or insecticides are used.
After maceration and fermentation, Viña Sastre Crianza is aged for 14 months in French and American oak barrels, with four rackings.
