Prowein 2014<\/a> trade fair to travel to its terroirs in DOCa Rioja and DO Toro through its tempranillo collection that clearly reflects the philosophy of this Riojan winemaking family: excellence in caring for the vineyard and the utmost respect for the fruit in the winery, which allows them to create wines of the greatest purity and identification with the terroir.<\/p>\n![\"prowein2014\"](\"http:\/\/www.sierracantabria.com\/wp-content\/gallery\/logotipos\/thumbs\/thumbs_prowein2014.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
The wines of Marcos and Miguel Eguren that will be present at Prowein have been praised by national and international critics, and placed on the honour rolls of Spanish wine guides like \u2018Proensa\u2019, \u2018Pe\u00f1\u00edn\u2019 and \u2018Gourmets\u2019 and in highly influential international publications like \u2018Wine Spectator\u2019 and \u2018The Wine Advocate\u2019. The Rioja reds \u2018Amancio 2010\u2019 and \u2018La Nieta 2011\u2019 will be among those wines available for tasting at the stand (Hall 04 B23). Both of these wines received 100 points from \u2018Gu\u00eda Proensa\u2019. \u2018Amancio\u2019 also boasts the title of \u2018Best Red of the Year\u2019, awarded by \u2018Gu\u00eda Vivir el Vino\u2019; while \u2018La Nieta\u2019 is now part of the \u2018Liga del 99\u2019, as it received the highest rating possible from \u2018Gu\u00eda Gourmets\u2019 \u2013 99 points.<\/p>\n
A family history rooted in Sonsierra<\/h2>\n
The story of this winegrowing family goes back to 1870, when Amancio, the great-grandfather of the current Eguren winemakers, pioneered this project. Marcos and Miguel Eguren, now in charge of winemaking and management respectively, represent the fourth generation of winemakers in this family. Their father, Guillermo, began bottling his production under the brand Sierra Cantabria in 1957.<\/p>\n
Following an initial phase when the family focused on young wines, remaining faithful to the carbonic maceration of Sonsierra, Marcos Eguren played an important role in setting the stage for a revolution in Rioja wine. Encouraged by his brother Miguel, Marcos trail blazed the way for single vineyard wines that respect a terroir\u00b4s singularity with the goal of extracting its maximum character and identity.<\/p>\n
![\"Marcos](\"http:\/\/www.sierracantabria.com\/wp-content\/gallery\/familia-eguren\/Marcos-y-Miguel-Eguren_recorte.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
It is on this premise that, for over 20 years, Marcos and Miguel Eguren have built their collection of DOCa Rioja wines at their wineries Se\u00f1or\u00edo de San Vicente, Vi\u00f1edos Sierra Cantabria and Vi\u00f1edos de P\u00e1ganos, thus completing and expanding on their original contribution of \u2018Sierra Cantabria\u2019. \u2018La Nieta\u2019, \u2018Finca El Bosque\u2019, \u2018Amancio\u2019 and \u2018Alabaster\u2019 constitute their high-end collection, with fewer than 5,000 bottles artisanally crafted, with manual stemming and foot pressing.<\/p>\n
New horizons for DO Toro<\/h2>\n
The oenological mark of Marcos Eguren, reinforced by his brother Miguel\u00b4s business vision, has helped chart the path towards DO Toro for over 15 years, initially with the winery Numanthia Termes, which was sold to Louis Vuitton M\u00f6ett Hennessy in 2008, and currently with Teso La Monja winery, selected as \u2018Best Winery of the Year\u2019 by \u2018Gu\u00eda Pe\u00f1\u00edn 2013\u2019.<\/p>\n
\u2018Romanico\u2019, \u2018Almirez\u2019, \u2018Victorino\u2019 and \u2018Alabaster\u2019 \u2013 the latter an artisanal concept \u2013 are the wines of reference for this winegrowing family in Toro lands, in addition to the family\u00b4s most exclusive wine, \u2018Teso La Monja\u2019. Just 800 bottles of Teso La Monja are produced annually. Named after its birthplace, this wine is conceived and crafted with biodynamic practices; it is the only red wine in the world to ferment in an oval tank of French oak \u2013 an innovation by Taransaud \u2013 which promotes the wine\u00b4s biorhythms.<\/p>\n

With a portfolio of over 20 wines, Vi\u00f1edos and Bodegas Sierra Cantabria exports to almost 50 countries on five continents, including the United States, Japan, Germany, Switzerland as its primary markets.<\/p>\n
