CATA's notes:
- Deep cherry color with garnet trim.
- Elegant, powerful and very complex. Aromas of black, spicy, mineral and toasted fruits, with nuances of low forest.
- Tasty, very lively, meaty, balanced, broad, endowed with a great structure on the palate, where the notes of fresh fruit stand out in the foreground, very well combined with those of its elegant wood, spices, smoke, tobacco leaf, milk. A great wine with life ahead.
Development and Aging Made 100% with Tinto Fino grapes from a Selection of vines in the Pago de Fuentesanta with more than 100 years of age. Manual selection of the grape. Gravity transfer of the vintage to a 50hl tank. where fermentation takes place with autochthonous yeasts. Fermentation and maceration for 15 days.
Aging: Malolactic fermentation in barrels with aging on lees for 18 months in new French oak barrels with extra fine grain.
Curiosities: The Astrals Despite having only been producing since the year 2000, it is a winery with more than remarkable experience, that of a family dedicated to growing vines for three generations, the Romera de la Cruz family, and that of a technical advisor of the size of
