The Sierra Cantabria Reserva Unica offers excellent value for money. A full-bodied, complex red wine. The Reserva Unica spent 24 months in French oak Bordelaise barrels (60%) and American oak Bordelaise barrels (40%), 30% new oak, and 70% in barrels of up to 3 years old. It is predominantly Tempranillo with a few percent Graciano. It was bottled without filtration and is an excellent wine, coming from vineyards over 30 years old located in San Vicente de la Sonsierra (La Rioja). Sustainable farming practices are employed for all Sierra Cantabria wines.

The Sierra Cantabria Reserva Unica is bright ruby red in the glass. Expressive aromas of redcurrant, cherry, and liquorice. Juicy on the palate, with flavours of red fruit blended with toasted vanilla and underlying mineral notes. On the nose, tobacco, liquorice, vanilla, blackcurrants, and black cherries leap from the glass. On the palate, this full-bodied wine still has light tannins in the finish. The perfect acidity prolongs the long, spicy, floral-dominated finish. This wine is still young and will continue to improve in the coming years. The Spanish winery Sierra Cantabria was founded in 1957 by Guillermo Eguren. This Reserva Unica is therefore one of the magnificent wines from the Hermanos Eguren collection.

Sommy Pairing Beschrijving De Sierra Cantabria Reserva Unica toont een helder robijnrood, met expressieve aroma's van aalbes, zwarte kers, zoethout, tabak en geroosterde vanille, sappig rood fruit en een elegante minerale ondertoon met nog fijne tannines en een lange kruidige afdronk. Dankzij zijn volle body, frisse zuurgraad en subtiele eikenhouttonen vormt hij een ideale partner voor rundvlees, lam, charcuterie, stevige kazen en stoofschotels omdat het fruit de vetten en umami accentueert, de zuurgraad het gerecht frist en de tannines harmonie brengen; nog betere resultaten krijg je bij langzaam gegaarde stoofpotten, gegrild of gerookt rood vlees en bij lam met rozemarijn of paprika, en bij kazen werkt hij bijzonder goed met rijpe Manchego of gekarameliseerde geitenkaas.

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
