The Purity of the terroir

Five generations of winegrowers with roots in San Vicente de la Sonsierra have woven a long history of complicity between man and vine in order to draw out its greatest virtues, applying every necessary effort to convey its expressiveness in singular wines.

Marcos Eguren, leading the winemaking work, and Miguel Eguren, managing the group as president, head a viticultural project in search of wines that evoke the vineyard, with great versatility and a marked personality. Wines that belong to the new classics: wines that endure over time, combining fruit, power, and structure with elegance, freshness, and subtlety.

Sierra Cantabria, Viñedos Sierra Cantabria, Señorío de San Vicente, and Viñedos de Páganos make up their projects in DOCa. Rioja, in addition to their presence in D.O. Toro with the Teso La Monja winery. The family and its wineries enjoy national and international prestige, and have received distinctions and awards in both spheres.

Rioja Alavesa: the elite of La Rioja wines

Rioja Alavesa is classified as a subzone within the Rioja Qualified Designation of Origin. It has 13,500 hectares of vineyards and several hundred wineries, producing an annual average of around 40 million liters of wine.

The area produces especially red wines with specific general characteristics, such as bright, vivid color, a fine aroma, fruity flavor, and a pleasant palate. These peculiarities are due to the area’s clay-limestone soils, which are excellent for allowing vines to absorb the necessary moisture. The climate and the location of the vineyards, behind the Sierra de Toloño, also contribute to their quality, protecting the vines from the cold northern winds and allowing them to make better use of the warmth.

Red wines are the most representative wines of the region and are made from the Tempranillo varieties (around 79% of the total is produced from this grape), Garnacha, Mazuelo, and Graciano.

Young wines, or reds of the year, are mostly made using the traditional carbonic maceration method, in which whole clusters are fermented in a ‘lagar’ for seven to ten days. Once free of skins and stems, they are transferred to vats where fermentation is completed.

Crianza, Reserva, and Gran Reserva wines, on the other hand, are made using the Bordeaux or destemming method. This consists of crushing the grapes after removing the stems and incubating the must with the skins and pulp for seven days. After several fermentations, the wines are transferred to barrels for aging. The length of time spent in barrel and bottle is what determines the difference between Crianzas, Reservas, and Gran Reservas.

Because rosé and white wines are increasingly appreciated both within and beyond Spain’s borders, winemakers and enologists are working to produce quality wines from these varieties, in an effort to reach every market.

Bodega Sierra Cantabria

Since 1870, over five generations, the Eguren family has devoted itself to cultivating vineyards and producing and aging some of Rioja’s finest wines. Keeping knowledge and tradition alive, they have passed them down from parents to children, always adapting them to technological advances and to respect for the land and the vine. The family and its wineries enjoy national and international prestige, having received distinctions and awards in both arenas. Teso La Monja marked the beginning of a new era in Toro. The brothers Marcos and Miguel Eguren, of Sierra Cantabria, have spent years contributing to the transformation of this town in Zamora. They fell in love with Toro’s old pre-phylloxera vines and their ability to give rise to unique wines. The success behind these wines unfolded in several stages. Initially, the Eguren brothers acquired the Numanthia Termes winery, where they produced Termanthia, the wine that earned them 100 Parker points. In 2008 they sold this winery to Louis Vuitton Möet Hennessy (LVMH) in order to set out on their own path and seek new vineyards with very specific characteristics, also in the lands of Toro. These vineyards also have more gravel on the surface, face north, and have longer vegetative cycles. All of this is aimed at obtaining wines that convey balance and elegance while extracting the land’s full potential. These vineyards also have more gravel on the surface, face north, and have longer vegetative cycles. All of this is aimed at obtaining wines that convey balance and elegance, extracting the land’s full potential. Construction of the Teso La Monja winery, however, began before the sale of Numanthia Termes to LVMH. It was in 2006, on several hectares of associated vineyard. There stands a winery of sober architectural beauty, whose design perfectly combines the most contemporary vision for crafting great wines with the experience, history, and savoir-faire of the past. Modernity built on solid foundations. In this context, the wines Románico, Almirez, Victorino, Alabaster and Teso La Monja are produced. Wines that convey the essence of Tinta de Toro with subtlety and freshness, two hallmark attributes of all Eguren wines. Vines. Thus, Teso La Monja has 90 hectares of planted vineyard, mostly own-rooted and native, located in the towns of Valdefinjas, Toro and Villabuena. At Teso La Monja, sustainable agriculture is also practiced, with organic fertilization and meticulous work in the cellar. Traditional methods are combined with the most modern technology to extract the mineral nuances of privileged soils.";}i:1;a:3:{s:5:"title";s:20:"Zoltan Nagy’s Opinion";s:2:"id";s:19:"opinion-zoltan-nagy";s:7:"content";s:659:" blockquote “A small-production wine, penetrating and delicate” /blockquote strong Zoltan Nagy, /strong is a em Wine Connoisseur /em who introduces us to many little-known corners of the Spanish wine world that have yet to become widely known or discovered by the public.
