The powerful and showy 2015 Christina is ripe and reached 15% alcohol. It's also generously oaked but keeps balance after 18 months in new oak barrels. It's powerful and concentrated, with spicy oak flavors but with very good balance and fine-grained tannins following the line of the 2014. 6,000 bottles were filled in July 2017.
Producer
Bodegas Los Astrales
Recently established at the turn of the century, Los Astrales was founded by the Romero de la Cruz family. The 28-hectare estate has now become a grower-producer with the addition of technical consultant, Eduardo García. Son of the famed Mariano García – owner of Bodegas Mauro and Maurodos, Eduardo took the three generational grape growing family to world renowned wine producers in a matter of years. Today, Los Astrales is one of the top wineries of the appellation, crafting deep purple-colored wines with thrilling aromas of berries, licorice and toasted oak. Located in the village of Anguix, a province of Burgos, the impressive bodega produces two wines. Both pure Tempranillo modern examples of the DO, Los Astrales is an elegant, dark-fruited wine with a bit of spice, balanced by its supple tannins that provide great aging capacities. While their second label, Christina, develops similarly providing impressive earthy, and mineral characters.
