WINE DESCRIPTION
Eguren Ugarte Reserva is a premium red wine produced by the renowned Eguren family in the Rioja Alavesa region of Spain. The wine is made from carefully selected Tempranillo grapes grown in the family's own vineyards, which are situated at high altitudes and benefit from a unique microclimate. The winemaking process involves traditional techniques, including aging in oak barrels for at least 18 months, which gives the wine its characteristic complexity and depth of flavor. The resulting wine is a rich and full-bodied red with notes of dark fruit, vanilla, and spice, making it a perfect match for hearty meat dishes and strong cheeses.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This Eguren Ugarte Reserva is a complex, sophisticated Rioja from the renowned Bodegas Eguren Ugarte.A classic blend of Tempranillo and Graciano, it has a deep ruby colour with aromas of dark fruits, sweet spice and a hint of smoky oak. On the palate, it has a velvety texture and well-integrated tannins, with flavours of dark cherries, roasted herbs and a touch of leather. The lengthy finish is full of sweet spice and touches of dark chocolate. This is an elegant and structured Rioja that can be enjoyed now or cellared for several years.
