With a wine tradition dating back to 1870, the Eguren family belongs to the absolute top with wines such as the Sierra Cantabria, San Vicente Manor, Numanthia-Termes (recently sold to LVMH group). The La Nieta is the top wine and flagship of Eguren and comes from a very small 1.75 hectare vineyard which was planted in 1975 in Páganos (Laguardia, Rioja Alava) at an altitude of 525 meters above sea level. The soil is very calcareous clay soil. Lanieta means "Granddaughter" and is a project that Eguren started after the birth of his granddaughter. The grapes are fermented in four 1000-litre oak barrels and the wine is aged in new French barriques for 16 months. The nose is subtle, ripe without exaggeration. The La Nieta is a very powerful and a very elegant wine at the same time, a combination that is not so easy to find. The taste is medium to full-bodied with a very mineral feel. The wine can now be drunk, but with a hearty steak, but you will certainly be rewarded if you leave this for a few more years. Only 5000 bottles of the La Nieta have been produced and this wine belongs to the top of Spain. Parker also writes about the La Nieta " Nieta has been the star again" This is a very scarce double magnum (Jeroboam) of no less than 3 liters in a beautiful original wooden box. Only a handful of these were produced. Even tastier and even longer lasting. The Spanish winery Viñedos de Paganos is an exclusive winery and is one of the beautiful wineries of Hermanos Eguren
