Description

Created as a heartfelt tribute to Vitorino Eguren’s 80th birthday, this exceptional Rioja captures the soul of the Eguren family legacy.

Produced from carefully selected old-vine Tempranillo vineyards in Rioja Alavesa, the wine combines depth, elegance, and classic Rioja character. The extended aging in new American oak barrels adds refined spice, vanilla notes, and structure, while long bottle aging brings harmony and complexity.

A beautifully crafted red for collectors, Rioja lovers, and those looking for a bottle with both story and substance.
