Eguren Ugarte - New Rioja Wines At EWGA Wines

 

 

EWGA Wines is very proud to announce their new collaboration with an outstanding wine producer out of Rioja, Spain. Eguren Ugarte is a family-owned winery with a long history of wine-making and we are excited to bring their wines to more restaurant tables and shops in the UK.

 

 

 We decided to take on a range of wines divided into different groups to offer something for everyone! 

 

The 'Young Wines' selection offers three wines harvested in the last two years. These wines offer excellent value for money and can be an excellent choice for Spanish house wines or everyday drinking.

 

The Eguren Ugarte Blanco is a blend of 5 varieties giving it good intensity, elegance and aromatic complexity. The Rosado is made from red grapes of Tempranillo and Garnacha, allowing the wine some of the classic Rioja characteristics with an easy-drinking body. Finally, the Eguren Ugarte Cosecha is a classical Rioja blending youth and maturity. 

 

The 'Aged Wines' or Crianza range from Eguren Ugarte matures in their cellars inside French and American oak barrels, after which it is bottled. These wines are bottled under 'The Rioja Qualified Destination of Origin' procedures, ensuring their excellent quality. This range consists of Blanco Crianza, Crianza Tinto Tinto and Crianza Reserva.

 

Next, we have the 'Single Varietal Wines' which feature wines made from single grape varieties. This group of wines offer great quality and unique traits reserved for each grape variety.

 

For example, the lesser-known red grape of Graciano is a variety native to Rioja. This grape has small bunches and is challenging to grow, however, the reward is an intriguing, modern, crisp wine with potent aromas. Likewise, the Garnacha Blanca is one of the least cultivated varieties in Rioja and one of the oldest. Early budding and small bunches mature slowly but produce extraordinarily aromatic must and wine, with remarkable acidity that gives it great ageing potential.

Such interesting wines make a great supplement to any wine list.

 

Finally, we have the 'Author Wines' class. These are classic Reserva wines with a historical twist. Cédula Real Gran Reserva Gran Reserva is your passport to a classical Gran Reserva, exclusive to great harvests with grapes from old vines. Martin Cendoya Reserva is made from grapes from Finca El Monte old vines on hillside terrain and is a tribute to Martín who is brother to Vitorino’s wife, Mercedes.
