Viñedos Sierra Cantabria Rioja Reserva Unica is bright ruby in colour. Expressive aromas of redcurrant, cherry, liquorice, cinnamon and allspice. Supple and juicy in the mouth, with vivacious red fruit, cassis and floral pastille flavours. Penetrating acidity extends the long, spicy, floral-dominated finish. This is very nicely balanced and delicious right now.

From vineyards close to the village of San Vicente de la Sonsierra, Viñedos Sierra Cantabria Rioja Reserva Unica is a limited release wine made from a blend of Tempranillo and Graciano, giving a wine of vibrant colour and intense aromas.

 

About the grower

Viñedos Sierra Cantabria was born as the result of the Eguren family's on-going quest for excellence in the world of Rioja; their ongoing endeavour to search for new flavours and to discover new classics.

Following their philosophy of getting great wines from unique and exclusive vineyards, they started work on the estates of La Llana, Los Terreros, Jararte, El Bosque and La Veguilla, where deeply characteristic wines such as Sierra Cantabria Organza, Sierra Cantabria Coleccion Privada, Finca El Bosque and Amancio were born.

These wines are the result of a meticulous selection of the bunches, which in many cases have been de-stalked by hand and crushed in the traditional way in order to achieve the smoothest possible extraction of flavour, colour and tannins. This all takes place in a winecellar that was constructed by the Eguren family using stone from their very own estate, as a tribute to the earth which both they and their land form a part of.

Finca El Bosque, La Veguilla, Los Terreros and Jarrarte form the collection of Sonsierra vineyards that are embranced by Viñedos Sierra Cantabria, in conjunction with La Llana in Rioja Alavesa. These vineyards give birth to some of Rioja's most prestigious wines; wines that are genuinely distinctive, pure and that portray the true identity of their terroir.

The Eguren family only uses organic material and treatments on the vineyards and they work according to nature's cycles, carrying out tasks accordingly to create a harmonious link with the vineyard and the environment.
