"Designing wines from the vineyards Our philosophy is to produce a limited quantity with meticulous care. That's why we respect the land, maintaining traditional cultivation methods without the addition of mineral fertilizers, herbicides, or insecticides. This approach defines the personality and quality of our wines. Bodegas Hermanos Sastre, SL, was established in 1992. That was when the Sastre family decided to found a small winery to produce wine from their first 23 hectares of vineyards. Since then, they have maintained a traditional approach to cultivation and winemaking, showing the utmost respect for the land, in order to produce wines of quality and unique character. This character, born from the land of La Horra and its old vines, offers the taste and pleasure found in each vintage: richness, density, sweetness, elegance, character, purity, and freshness. ON THE RIVERBANK A great terroir is far more complex than one might imagine. It's not just the sun, the soil, its natural drainage capacity, its ability to retain moisture (limestone, clay), or the percentage of different elements that make soils warm or cold, rich or poor, balanced or insufficient. It's also their exposure—on a hill, a plateau, or in a hollow—that makes these small places exceptional. At Viña Sastre winery, the vineyard is located in La Horra at an altitude of 800 to 840 meters above sea level on small hills facing the Duero and Gromejón river basins. This location concentrates the warm summer temperatures, increasing ripeness, and the soil is naturally drained by the slope. All these characteristics contribute to the style of Viña Sastre wine. Decidedly rich, dense, and full-bodied, due to the precocity of its terroir, but also elegant, distinguished, pure, and very fresh thanks to the Tinto Fino grape and the perfectly balanced composition (limestone/sand) of its soils.
