How full and heavy the wine feels in your mouth, like the difference between skimmed milk and cream. More alcohol, sugar and oak ageing make a wine fuller.
The drying, grippy feel on your gums and tongue, as with strong tea. It comes from the skins and seeds of black grapes and from oak, and softens with age.
How much sugar you taste, from dry to sweet. Fruity is not the same as sweet: a dry wine can taste of ripe fruit.
How fresh and juicy the wine is: acidity makes your mouth water. High acidity tastes lively and refreshing, low acidity soft and round.

Log inThe Señorío San Vicente is produced from selected Tempranillo grapes from a south-facing vineyard of 18 hectares located on a calcareous soil in San Vicente de la Sonsierra in Rioja Alta. The vineyard dates back to 1985, so it is more than 30 years old. The destemmed grapes are fermented in stainless steel vats and, after malolactic fermentation, are aged for 19-20 months in new oak barrels, of which 90% are French and the remaining 10% are American. This flagship from Hermanos Eguren has a beautiful shiny bright ruby red color with a nose full of notes of blood orange and more red than black fruit wrapped in aromas of licorice and cumin. The medium-bodied palate shows round, creamy tannins and gives the wine a satin texture
The winery was founded by the famous Eguren family . Known for Sierra Cantabria and the iconic Teso la Monja.

2018 was a cooler year with rain during the harvest that made the grapes larger, and the 2018 San Vicente shows more fluid, a little lighter and with more polished tannins, a little more austere and less exuberant than the 2019 I tasted next to it. The wines reflect the natural conditions of the year, as the vinification (destemmed in oak vats) and élevage (20 months in new barrels) were the same. 40,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in July 2020.

From: Rioja: The Past Is Always Present (Apr 2021)
Inky ruby. Powerful, oak-spiced cherry cola, blackberry, potpourri and vanilla scents show sharp definition and pick up a smoky aspect with air. Seamless and penetrating on the palate, offering intense red and dark fruit, floral pastille and mocha flavors and a touch of exotic spices. Shows excellent focus and spicy drive on a long, supple finish framed by finely interwoven tannins. All new oak, 90% French and 10% American.
- By Josh Raynolds on December 2020
First introduced in 1991, this wine is made by the ubiquitous Eguren family from vines that they own in Sonsierra. A low-yielding strain of the variety, Tempranillo Peluda, yields wines of distinct concentration and power that age effortlessly, as numerous, still youthful bottles from the 1990s continue to prove. The first planting of the estate’s 18-hectare vineyard was in 1985, still quite young by Rioja standards. The highly expressive, flamboyant wine is aged in large oak vats, 90% French and 10% American and many of them new, for 20 months before bottling.

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 variety, the Tempranillo Peludo, which is almost extinct. The excellent conditions there create a complex wine with great aging potential that was named after the winery. Winery San Vicente 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 establishment of Winery Señorío de San Vicente by the Eguren family. Their philosophy was to create a single wine, San Vicente, from a single vineyard, La Canoca, from a single grape variety Tempranillo Peludo, a variety indigenous to the area, with unique characteristics and low production.
If we go back to the early 1980s, we would see Guillermo Eguren making a selection between vines of the Tempranillo variety from the most balanced old vineyards of the family. He then opted for vines with low vigor, low production and smaller truss sizes. A few years later, in 1985, in one of the higher elevations of the municipality of San Vicente de la Sonsierra, a limited cultivation area of about 18 hectares called La Canoca was planted. In this place, in the 1991 vintage, 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.
De Señorío San Vicente 2020 toont geconcentreerd rood en donker fruit zoals kers en braam met verfijnde noties van bloedsinaasappel, vanille, cacao en kruiden afkomstig van 20 maanden nieuw eiken, en een zijdezachte textuur met rijpe, fijnmazige tannines en heldere zuurgraad. Dankzij die combinatie van fruit, spice en stevige maar elegante tannines snijdt de wijn door vet en past hij perfect bij rundvlees, lamsgerechten, stoofschotels, barbecue en rijpe kazen; de houtinvloed en kruidenaccenten versterken gegrild of gerookt vlees en rijke, langzaam gegaarde sauzen. Kies bijv. voor gegrilde entrecote of lamskoteletten met rozemarijn, langzaam gestoofd rundvlees of een gemarineerde BBQ-rib en serveer naast een oude Manchego of een romige schapenkaas voor maximale harmonie.
