Tasting notes for Red Wine Áster Crianza:

Sight-Vinos-Covigran

Pillory color, very covered, denoting youth in its ruby edges.

Nose-Vinos-Covigran

We find a lot of black fruit (blackberries, plums), coffee, maraschino, and licorice stick and cigar box. The palate has a sweet attack and a powerful step, with fresh fruit despite being a ripe wine. 

Mouth-Vinos-Covigran

The tannins of the fruit and the barrel are sweet, but the tannic structure is very well armed. It remains long in the mouth after the drink.

This wine was a bet in the Ribera del Duero, at the end of the 90s, of Rioja firm La Rioja Alta and it has to be said that it was a winning bet.They managed, from the first vintage, to give this wine the typicity of the Ribera. For him, they chose the musts coming from the El Caño farm, which seemed the most suitable for the development of a breeding.

Optimum service temperature: 14° C.

A pairing: Codornices con cerezas.

Ingredients: 4 quail, 250 gr. of cherries, 50 gr. of butter, 1 dram of brandy, salt and pepper.

Elaboration:

- Clean the quail and tie them with a kitchen thread.

- Season them with salt and pepper, spread them with butter and put them over medium heat to cook in a covered clay pot so that they can be done before, turning them from time to time.

- Before finishing the cooking, add the cherries and brandy and cook for 5 more minutes.

- Remove the quail thread and serve.

Bon Appetite!

Áster was built in 2002 with a timeless and elegant aesthetic. The manor house, open to wine tourism, is naturally integrated into the facilities of the winery where the elaboration room stands out, a diaphanous nave from which the vineyard can be seen and, with a point of visual attraction, several rows with the mouths of the stainless steel tanks.

There is placed, in time of vintages, the selection table through which all bunches pass before starting your 'journey' through a winery equipped with the highest technology.The barrel nave, with capacity for 4,000 units, is another attraction for the visitor. At present, 2,700 French oak barrels are housed in this cabin, under the shelter of the exterior, where the wines destined for Áster Finca El Otero and Áster Crianza are bred before being rounded off in the silent wine racks.
