The Sierra Cantabria Crianza is a wonderfully full-bodied, yet well-balanced Rioja. Highly recommended. This wine is made from Tempranillo. The Crianza has been aged for 14 months in French and American oak. Its color is ruby red with light violet hues at the rims. The nose reveals a bouquet of red fruit (berries, blackcurrants) with beautiful intensity, hints of roasted coffee, graphite, and vanilla. The palate has good structure and a good balance of tannins, alcohol, and acidity. Fresh, mature fruit is perfectly balanced with the characteristics of aging (spices, roasted coffee, fine wood). The finish leaves a delicate, lightly toasted note with a precise mouthfeel. Parker concludes his review: "It has to be one of the finest vintages for this wine."
The vineyards are located in the famous Rioja region of San Vicente de la Sonsierra and Labastida. The soil of the vineyard consists primarily of calcareous clay and gravel, and the vineyard is managed sustainably. The hand-harvested bunches are selected in the vineyard, with a second selection in the winery using a sorting table. This 100% Tempranillo clone is destemmed and fermented at a temperature between 26°C and 28°C with indigenous yeast selected from the vineyards. For this beautiful Crianza, a long maceration with the skins takes place for 15 days, beginning with two daily pump-overs and followed by a light pump-over for the final ten days. The wine is then aged for 14 months in Bordeaux barrels of French and American oak.

The creamy and lactic 2019 Crianza was produced with pure Tempranillo that achieved good ripeness (14%), keeping freshness, the character of the 2019, a drier vintage than average with some heat but not excess, and the ripeness was perfect and the grapes very healthy. This is generously oaked after 14 months in used French and American oak barrels with rackings every six months. Very approachable. 150,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in March 2022.
Sierra Cantabria is one of the projects from the Eguren family. They are trying to use only grapes from San Vicente de la Sonsierra, and they produce close to one million bottles.

From: The Many Riojas of Rioja: A Tale of Forking Paths (Apr 2024)
The 2019 Crianza is 100% Tempranillo from San Vicente de la Sonsierra, aged 14 months in used American and French oak barrels. This garnet wine offers a faintly oaky aroma with notes of sour cherry, crushed plum and wild herbs. Dry, juicy and chalky on the palate, it lingers on the fruit notes.

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
