Eguren is one of the great names in Spanish winemaking. This family has not only made a name for itself in the DOCa. Rioja, they have also used their amazing experience in other parts of the country following the example of their father, Guillermo Eguren, who saw himself as a vineyard collector. Marcos and Miguel Eguren make wines such as Teso la Monja, in the Toro DO; Amancio and El Bosque, in Rioja, where Sierra Cantabria XF is also born, an exquisite rosé made from an interesting coupage of red and white varieties. The vineyards use integrated viticulture, with minimal intervention and maximum respect for the environment. They use organic fertilizers and avoid herbicides. To make Sierra Cantabria XF, they use the most aromatic grapes from the Eguren family vineyards, located on the left bank of the Ebro River (DOCa. Rioja. The white varieties are macerated for two days and a week later the red grape must is added, which remains in contact with the skins for 72 hours. Fermentation is carried out with indigenous yeasts and at a controlled temperature. The name, Sierra Cantabria XF, comes from the Marquise of Mirabel, Xandra Falcó, to whom they have dedicated this limited edition rosé wine with floral subtlety and aromatic elegance.
The aroma has light aniseed notes and aromas of fresh fruit, strawberry, blackberry, raspberry and pomegranate. The palate is fresh, bright, well balanced, surrounded by fruit and acidity with hints of pomegranate, watermelon. Intense, persistent, with a long and lively aftertaste.
