Description
Since 1870, a period spanning five generations, the Eguren family has been dedicated to the cultivation of vines and the production and ageing of the best wines of La Rioja. They have been able to pass down from father to son both knowledge and tradition yet, at the same time, incorporate new advances in technology always maintaining their respect for the soil and the vine.
This superb Rioja, made from the Tempranillo grape from vineyards in San Vicente De La Sonsierra and Labastida has intense and complex flavours of black fruits with underlying tones of violets, sandalwood and oaky Asian spice. To achieve these concentrated flavours the wine was aged in American oak barriques – 25% of them new – for 24 months.
This complex wine complements equally complex, spiced food such as Moroccon lamb or Persian chicken.
