Description

chevron-down

We are big fans of the entire Sierra Cantabria series and our opinion is also strongly supported by Penin and Robert Parker. This Cuvée has received no less than 94 Penin points. The Cuvée is one of the most unique wines of Bodega Sierra Cantabria and bears the stamp of the Eguren brothers. This wine, which is only produced in good years, comes from vineyards of more than 30 years, grown organically and harvested by hand. Tempranillo with a little Graciano. The wine was aged for 12 months in French and American oak. Concentrated complex wine. Ripe black fruit, coffee, roasted tones, a hint of spice, beautiful tannins and a wake with a finish.

The Spanish winery Sierra Cantabria was founded in 1957 by Guillermo Eguren and is one of Hermanos Eguren's beautiful wineries. Sierra Cantabria is located in the Rioja in a unique location between the River Ebro and the Sierra Cantabria mountain range. The Sierra Cantabria Mountains (1200m.) And the River Ebro (350m.) Provide a special microclimate with Mediterranean and continental features - mild winters and mild summers, unique to wine growing.
On the other hand, the thermal summer jump (intense heat during the day with fresh night temperatures) increases the polyphenol content, which makes for excellent quality wines with a distinctive character.

The vineyards of Bodega Sierra Cantabria are mainly located in the towns of San Vicente de la Sonsierra, Labastida and Laguardia, an area very well known for wine growing.
The Tempranillo variety predominates, along with small amounts of Garnacha, Viura and 'Hairy Tempranillo', all of which are grown in vineyards about 35 years old, although there are also plots up to 70 years old.The harvest is carried out by hand every year, paying special attention to the rigorous selection of the grapes that are the soul of the wine, in optimal condition and in perfect ripening conditions. The careful harvest is followed by a thorough separation of the bunches, which is done on a selection table at the entrance of the winery. Winemaking is aimed at minimal intervention in the winery to fully respect the character of the terroir
