History

Dominio de Eguren is one of several passion projects from the Eguren family, a family of viticulturists dating back five generations to the 1870s. The Eguren family were responsible for founding Bodegas Sierra Cantabria in 1956 which Jorge Ordóñez later introduced to the US market. The Egurens have worked alongside Jorge Ordóñez to create other brands throughout Spain, including re-establishing Toro as a pre-eminent winemaking region in the late 1990s.

The Eguren’s philosophy has always revolved around viticulture, as their history lies firmly intertwined with the vineyards surrounding San Vicente de la Sonsierra. The Eguren family lease vineyards for their Dominio de Eguren project of Tempranillo, Bobal, Macabeo, and Airén in Manchuela (in southeast Spain) on long term contracts.

The wines are vinified at their winery in Manchuela and are transported to Rioja, near the company’s headquarters, for bottling and shipping. The result are high quality honest value wines from one of Spain’s most respected winemaking families.

Vineyards

Most of the vineyards for the Dominio de Eguren project are leased on long term contracts in Manchuela. The Eguren controls and lowers the yields as much as possible on these trellised vineyards planted in calcareous-clay soils in order to produce high quality wines. A significant percentage of the production is also sourced from their young vineyards in Rioja and Toro, planted with old clone massal selection Tempranillo and Tinta de Toro, before the vines are deemed old enough to be used for the estate bottled wines.

Winemaking

The quality of the great wines is not a result of sheer luck. It requires personal effort, knowledge and passion as well of the earth and the complicity of the weather. Nothing is predominant, everything is important in order to create internationally famous wines. This is the result of hard work of a family with a philosophy that have been passed from generation to generation: to give back to the earth everything that it has given to us through the meticulous elaboration of our wines.

In Viñedos y Bodegas Sierra Cantabria we cultivate lasting relationships, those that are based on respect and generosity. We firmly believe in the meaning of giving your word, in the value of a handshake. We do not fear the "for life" but we seek it patiently, in every bond that we establish. We believe in the commitment to excellence, which is measured in every detail. In the wisdom of our ancestors, they showed us the importance of the connection with the earth. The memory that is built from affection is indelible. And it is that things, if they are well done, are forever.
