About Eguren Ugarte
The wine comes from the vineyards "El Monte", which are located in the domain Heredad Ugarte. The "Tolono" mountain range protects the vineyards against the cold north winds and forms a micro climate that is ideal for the ripening of the grapes. The domain includes 130 hectares of vineyard located on the best clay and limestone soils in the Rioja (Alaveisa) region, near La Guardia. 85% of the vineyards are planted with the traditional Tempranillo grape and the remaining 15% are planted with Grenache, Graciano and Mazuelo, on average 40 years old.
