Hermanos Sastre
The Pure Essence of La Horra
"Respectful viticulture and centenarian vines: the definition of the gold standard in contemporary Ribera del Duero."
Hermanos Sastre: The Cult of Old Vines
Located in the prestigious enclave of La Horra (Burgos), the Hermanos Sastre winery (known worldwide by its brand Viña Sastre) represents the aristocracy and oenological purity of Ribera del Duero. Under the technical and regulatory umbrella of the Ribera del Duero DO Regulatory Council, the Sastre family has tirelessly defended a philosophy of minimal agricultural intervention: chemical fertilizers, mineralizers and synthetic pesticides have been banned since the beginning, letting fieldwork strictly follow the biological cycles of the Burgos ecosystem.
Their plots, spread over slopes with optimal exposure and altitudes above 800 meters above sea level, hold old vineyards of Tinta del País (Tempranillo) —many of them centenarian and pre-phylloxera. The combination of clay-limestone soils with gravel sediments and a microclimate of great daily temperature swings is the key behind concentrated, thick-skinned grapes with exceptional natural acidity.
Vinification uses native yeasts, natural clarification and unhurried aging in first-use French and American oak. If you want to add historic bottles from the Burgos side of Ribera to your private collection or restaurant, at La Cava Shop we have a carefully chosen selection of Viña Sastre ready for safe, immediate shipping within the Mexican Republic.

Pesus: The Oenological Monument
Considered one of the most coveted cult jewels of Spain, Pesus is a micro-edition born from centenarian vines with yields below 1 kg per vine. Acclaimed with outstanding ratings in the Guía Peñín, this monumental red combines the strength of Tinta del País with small contributions of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, resulting in an immortal wine of superlative elegance.
It is a red designed for collectors seeking aging potential of more than three decades. Explore the dedicated Pesus wine collection.
Plot Wines and Terroir Character
Emblematic labels such as Pago de Santa Cruz and Regina Vides are praised by the specialist critic Luis Gutiérrez (Robert Parker Wine Advocate) for their honest ability to reflect the mineral profile, ripe black fruit and balsamic touches characteristic of the La Horra plots.
Likewise, Viña Sastre Crianza sets the gold standard in its category for its perfect integration of barrel and fruit.
Exclusive Information for Connoisseurs
What is Viña Sastre's standing among international critics?
The winery is a permanent reference in specialist publications such as Wine Spectator, standing out for its unwavering commitment to traditional viticulture, its rejection of mass production and the preservation of Tempranillo's varietal identity at over 800 meters of altitude.
Why does the location in La Horra matter?
La Horra is widely regarded as the "golden heart" of the Burgos area of the appellation. According to analysis by the international magazine Decanter, this municipality has a combination of clay-limestone soils and cold northern winds that produce the reds with the greatest phenolic concentration, integrated acidity and longevity of the entire Duero basin.
What is the recommended pairing for the Viña Sastre range?
The powerful tannic structure and spiced nuances of their reds pair in perfect harmony with traditional roast lechazo (suckling lamb), grilled cuts of beef (such as rib eye or prime rib), big-game stews, acorn-fed Iberian cured meats and aged sheep's cheeses.
