FEEL ÁSTER
TIME HAS GIVEN US THE KEYS…
…showing our trust in the late 80s in an emerging and privileged winemaking area, studying its soil and choosing the best spot to make great wines. Buying up old vineyards like El Otero, in 1993 and establishing new plantations. Presenting the first Áster wines in 2000 after years of experimentation in the vineyard and in the winery. Gaining deeper knowledge of the vineyard and perfecting the recognised personality of our brands. Today, as a result of our toil and constant search for excellence, we continue to update with classic and modern wines that convey the feeling of 21st century Ribera del Duero.
