Description of Sierra Cantabria Selección
Sierra Cantabria Seleccion is a medium aged wine from Rioja. A style between modernity and classicism that pleases every table. At the foot of the Sierra de Cantabria, specifically in the villages of San Vicente de la Sonsierra and Labastida, are the vineyards of the tempranillo variety with which this wine is made. The Eguren family has been working in the area for decades, producing icons in the area.
The elaboration is very traditional, destemmed grape, fermentation with controlled temperature and aging of 6 months in barrels of 225 liters of American and French oak with a maximum of 3 uses. A very versatile selection, with a lot of fresh fruit, and above all with an agile but well structured mouth that allows to leave habitual schemes and to accompany very well plates of oily fish, pistos and sauces of tomato and any moment of appetizer and informal tapeo.
