The wine

Acos is the undiscovered wine from Viña Sastre and very different from all the rest. A big wine beginning life in a small vineyard, by means of which Viña Sastre seeks to offer a wine profile that's fruitier, fresher, with more subtle ageing, an elegant, contemporary and cosmopolitan Tempranillo, a wine with international appeal.

The vines growing in this vineyard, located at the foot of a hill called Acos, range between 50 and 90 years old and are planted on a calcareous-clay soil. For many harvests, these vines had produced the fruit that had enriched some of the winery's best wines, but in 2006, its first vintage year, the decision was taken to vinify it separately. With the fourth vintage, the 2009, the wine has finally been discovered by the critics and received high praise: 93 points, for example, when rated by Luis Gutiérrez, in Robert Parker's team.

Powerful and complex, Acos brings together the undeniable quality of its origins and the elegance of an ageing period in lightly-toasted French oak barrels. Red fruits, violets and undergrowth are notes highlighted on the nose, mingling with spicy hints, cloves and a touch of cocoa. It's full and luscious on the palate, a wine with class, plenty of body and refreshing acidity. One of Viña Sastre's best guarded secrets, and a real delight to discover.

This great little family-run winery started out in the mid-twentieth century when Severiano Sastre planted some vineyards which as time passed would...
