Tempranillo

Origin
From a bodega run by the illustrious Muriel group, this wine comes from vineyards in Rioja's Alta and Alavesa sub-regions. The traditional Crianza maturation sees this wine spending 12 months in American oak barrels and a further 12 months in bottle before release.
Taste
Vivid cherry red in colour. The aromas show off the wine's oak ageing, with vanilla, coconut and balsamic notes coming to the fore. An elegant palate of ripe fruit framed by soft, polished tannins.
Enjoy
The definitive accompaniment to tapas, especially those of red meat or cured cheeses.

    A quaffable Rioja

    Drunk at a party, this wine displays a good combination of the things that I like in a Rioja, fruit and vanilla with a bit of emotional depth. Enjoy!

    Vina Eguia

    I'm into my second case now, a very drinkable Rioja and cracking good value.

    a bargain

    this is good, for the money this is really good! i was so impressed that after trying the first of a couple of bottles i went back and bought some more! i love rioja, ok i am a rioja snob, having bought some 82 and 85's recently i can't but help think that i could have done a lot better by buying a case of eguia rather than a couple of bottles of the other 2. ok, it isn't a gran reserva but it does pack a punch. you really won't be disappointed.

    Superb value

    At this price it is one of the best reds we've purchased. Great for that BBQ summer evening.

    Cracking wine with most things

    Thoroughly enjoyable drink, had it with curry today, duck another day and salad another. it is great on it's own too, mellow but full of flavour.
