Las Viñas Bastardas 2023 is an outstanding red wine from Casa Rojo winery that masterfully combines Monastrell and Tempranillo grapes from the best wine regions of Spain. The Tempranillo, from ancient vineyards aged 35 to 100 years in Burgos and Valladolid, undergoes a careful process including alcoholic fermentation and malolactic fermentation in stainless steel tanks, followed by aging in used French oak barrels for at least 12 months. The Monastrell, on the other hand, comes from old vines close to the winery in the beautiful Valle de La Raja in Murcia, where it ferments in large 11,000-liter French oak barrels and completes its process in new 500-liter barrels. With an intense ruby red color, Las Viñas Bastardas is characterized by a notable presence of red fruits, excellent acidity, and a sweet touch that makes it pleasant to the palate. Its prolonged finish and robustness make it the ideal choice for pairing with high-quality red meats. This wine is perfect for those starting to explore the fascinating world of wine, offering a unique sensory experience with typical aromas of the Ribera del Duero, complemented by Mediterranean and balsamic notes evoking its origin in Murcia.
