Sourced from 100-year-old vines, it combines impressive depth, sweet tannins, and a long, persistent finish with the kind of balance that makes a big wine feel effortlessly elegant. This is a serious, age-worthy wine with a historic old-vine character and plenty of immediate appeal when decanted.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMakuprofiili\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the glass, Astrales Christina shows a deep, dark color that hints at its intensity and concentration. The nose is powerful and expressive, led by ripe dark fruit, with layers of liquorice, spice, and subtle oak influence adding complexity and lift.\n\nOn the palate, the wine is rich and full-bodied, yet beautifully balanced, with velvety tannins and a smooth, rounded texture. Dark berry and black fruit flavors are wrapped in spice and a touch of savoury depth, leading into a long, elegant finish. It has excellent cellaring potential and should continue to evolve positively over the coming years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eViininvalmistus\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis single-vineyard cuvée comes from old Tempranillo vines, around 100 years of age, grown in Ribera del Duero in Castilla y León, where the region’s high-altitude climate and stark continental conditions help produce wines with concentration, freshness, and structure.
