The Story
Of a markedly Mediterranean profile, with challenging weather conditions throughout the entire growing cycle. Spring, marked by irregular rainfall patterns, gave way to a very dry summer with high temperatures, causing moderate water stress that helped concentrate flavors in the grapes. A harvest of very high quality, producing wines of great intensity, concentration, and aromatic complexity.
About Aster
Producer Story
Áster is the result of La Rioja Alta, S.A.’s commitment to making great wines in one of Spain’s most prestigious regions. After years of searching for the ideal location, we established the winery in Anguix (Burgos) in 1999, in the heart of Ribera del Duero. The estate follows a château model, with the winery surrounded by its own vineyards planted with Tinta del País (Tempranillo). This setup ensures full control over quality from vineyard to bottle. Áster wines aim to express the elegance, structure, and aging potential that define this renowned region.
