The Eguren family, generation after generation since 1870, have been dedicated to grape growing and to the elaboration and ageing of great wines in one of the most prestigious estates in Rioja.
Sierra Cantabria has made its wine under this brand since 1957, from its 90 hectares of... vineyards. It has an average age of 35 years and is situated in a unique location, between the River Ebro and the Sierra Cantabria mountain range.
Main varieties are Tempranillo, Tempranillo Peludo, Garnacha y Viura.
Marcos Eguren, as winemaker, has managed to adapt its range of wines to current trends, distinguishing, as he suggests, two distinct styles: the traditional Rioja, with the range of the Sierra Cantabria in the lead, and modern Rioja, with Amancio, Murmurón, Special Cuvee, Organza or Finca El Bosque.
Alcohol abuse can be dangerous.
