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.
