This is a typical Reserva of Ribera del Duero that faithfully reflects the characteristics of the vineyard. Low yields per hectare result in wines of great strength and intensity, gradually tamed during ageing until the right balance is achieved between potency and refinement in the mouth. The duration of cask ageing varies from one vintage to the next and is always determined by the oenologist depending on the wine's characteristics, although it is never less than 18 months.

Aster ages its wines in American oak casks and new French oak casks, ideal for highlighting the typical characteristics of the Tinta del Pais grapes (also known as Tinta Fina) that includes high concentration of colour, tannins, aromas and alcohol content. These powerful wines are rounded in the bottle, where initial astringency and sharpness turn into pure silk and velvet.

Grandes Bodegas were founded in 1985 and their vineyards form one of the best and most modern estates in Ribera del Duero. The red wines from this bodega have a much more fruit driven style than Rioja, although they are made from a strain of Tempranillo called Tinto Fino. (12 x 75 cl)
