2016 Señorío San Vicente

The Spanish Winery San Vicente is located in the Rioja in the town of San Vicente de la Sonsierra where everything starts in the La Canoca vineyard located in an exceptional location, with an indigenous almost no longer common variety the Tempranillo Peludo. The excellent conditions there create a complex wine with a great aging potential that was named after the winery. San Vicente winery is part of Sierra Cantabria - run by the famous Eguren family.

A search for a wine that shows the true potential of the "Sonsierra Tempranillo" led in 1991 to the founding of the Señorío de San Vicente winery by the Eguren family. Their philosophy was to create a single wine, San Vicente, from a single vineyard, La Canoca, from one grape variety Tempranillo Peludo, a variety native to the area, with unique features and low production.

Going back to the early 1980s, we would see Guillermo Eguren making a selection between Tempranillo variety vines from the family's most well-balanced old vineyards. He then opted for vines with low vigor, low production and smaller truss size. A few years later, in 1985, in one of the higher elevation areas of the municipality of San Vicente de la Sonsierra, a limited cultivation area of about 18 hectares was planted called La Canoca.

It was here, in the 1991 vintage, that the first Señorío de San Vicente was born, an example of a single variety planted in a single vineyard and vinified as the exclusive wine of a winery.
