Eguren Ugarte Rioja Blanco Reserva

grape variety: viura 50%, garnacha blanca 50%
French new oak, 13 months

Produced by Eguren Ugarte

The grapes for the production of Eguren Ugarte wines come from vineyards of the clay and calcareous soils of Labastida, Páganos, Leza and Elciego, in the heart of the Rioja Alavesa. A north-south orientation is sought and they are driven on high trellises, thus ensuring greater exposure to the sun. The vineyards are not irrigated - they depend entirely on the weather conditions.

Their vineyards are more than 50 years old and located at altitudes of around 600-700m, with particular microclimates favourable for the production of quality grapes.

In recent years, the winery has opted for new grape varieties for the production of monovarietal whites and reds, and for this it has bought farms in the most optimal areas of soil and climate with the aim of obtaining the best grapes of the planted varieties.

Tasting Notes

Honey and nuts give way to notes of quince in the glass. Majestic on the palate due to its impressive volume and softness. Intense toasted notes and spicy nuances leave a long finish.
