The Finca El Bosque vineyard
San Vicente de la Sonsierra lies in Rioja Alta, between the Ebro River and the Sierra Cantabria mountain range that gave the winery its name. The soil is sandy clay loam of clay-limestone composition over gravel, loose and deep, with many rounded stones on the surface. The vineyard itself stands about fifty metres above the Ebro River, and its vines were planted in 1973.
Sierra Cantabria and the Eguren family
Guillermo Eguren founded Bodegas Sierra Cantabria in 1957. The family dates its winegrowing to 1870, when Amancio Eguren, its first viticulturist, was born. His son Victorino came next, then Victorino’s son Guillermo. The family runs six projects, each with its own identity, across Rioja, Toro and Castilla. The winery itself draws on vineyards in San Vicente de la Sonsierra, Labastida and Laguardia in Rioja.
