Viña Eguía

La Rioja is a natural region located in the north of the Iberian Peninsula. Its geography is marked by the Ebro River, which crosses the territory from end to end, forming an extensive river depression. To the north and south of the valley, a succession of mountain ranges outlines the horizon.

Between the Mediterranean and the north of Spain, between the heart of the European continent and its western end, Rioja has been a transit point since ancient times. Home to diverse cultures and a border land between the first medieval kingdoms, La Rioja has always hosted an incessant human movement. The best historical example is the Camino de Santiago: its route leads to Compostela passing through the heart of this wide valley.

The Tempranillo variety is the undisputed queen of Rioja Alavesa. Its agile vines dominate the broken region, spreading its brown stain in winter, and a strong green in the heat of summer. Its early and stable maturation offers a firm, stable, corpulent and elegant structure: essential for obtaining young wines with a lot of fruit and, on the other hand, optimal for aging great wines in oak barrels. Tempranillo wines are elegant and deep, with an aromatic complexity full of nuances.
