Bodegas Áster (winery) is La Rioja Alta's Ribera del Duero outpost located in the village of Anguix, Burgos.
Founded in 1989, it is one of the most innovative wineries in the region with state-of-the-art facilities that produce world-class wines at a fraction of the price of its famous neighbors such as Pago de Los Capellanes, Pingus, and Vega Sicilia.
Tim Atkin MW produces an annual report on Ribera del Duero and believes that Burgos (city of Spain) is “where most of the best wines come from” thanks to its extreme environment of short, hot summers, low rainfall, and bitterly cold winters.

Tasting Notes
Intense crimson colour with dark red rim and bright robe. Forest floor and black fruit notes stand out on the nose: blackcurrant, blackberry and blueberry jam wrapped with mocha, confectionery and spices such as black pepper, licorice and clove on the background. Balanced, vibrant and fresh mouthfeel, with the characteristic fine, gentle tannins of these Ribera Del Duero wines. The Aftertaste is fresh and sinewy, nicely rounded with a very pleasant finish. An elegant wine, with outstanding balance and excellent ageing potential.
Tinta Del Pais from Ribera del Duero, Spain.
