2022 Paganos La Nieta

With a wine tradition dating back to 1870, the Eguren family is among the absolute top with wines such as Sierra Cantabria, San Vicente Manor, Numanthia-Termes (recently sold to LVMH group). La Nieta is Eguren's top wine and flagship and comes from a very small 1.75 hectare vineyard planted in 1975 in Páganos (Laguardia, Rioja Alava) at an altitude of 525 meters above sea level. The soil is very calcareous clay soil. LaNieta means "Granddaughter" and is a project that Eguren started after the birth of his granddaughter.

The grapes are fermented in four 1000-litre oak barrels and the wine is aged in new French barriques for 16 months. The nose is subtle, ripe without being overpowering. La Nieta is at the same time a very powerful and very elegant wine, a combination that is not so easy to find. The palate is medium to full-bodied with a very mineral feel. The wine can be drunk now but only with a hearty steak but you will certainly be rewarded if you leave it for a few more years. Only 5000 bottles of La Nieta were produced and this wine is among the best in Spain. Parker also writes about La Nieta "Nieta has been the star again"

The Spanish winery Viñedos de Paganos is an exclusive winery and is one of the magnificent wineries of Hermanos Eguren.
