Origin
Bodegas Eguia is located in the heart of the Rioja Alavesa subregion, in the village of Elciego, one of the area's winemaking hotspots. The traditional reserva style is achieved through 24 months ageing in French and American oak and 2 years' cellarage before release.
Taste
Beautifully deep ruby coloured, with subtle cedar hints to the rim. The bouquet is an intense mix of dark fruit, toasted oak and clove aromas. The palate has weight yet an elegant profile. Scroll down to view our short video tasting.
Enjoy
Match with a mature steak, or with a board of chorizo and manchego cheese.

    Top class Rioja

    Great recommendation from staff in Majestic Berkhamstead, guest were impressed they've ordered some too... powerful flavour, dark and oaky.

    Truly excellent taste with a natural cork.

    This wine should be at least classed as D for its body and content. It is very flavoursome and full bodied and has a true Natural Cork which is helping to support the natural cork oak forests and gives the wine a better taste.

    Lovely Rioja with a hint of vanilla.

    Chose this instead of a shiraz, and liked it so much I've taken another 24 bottles. I real bargain at the price- don't miss it.

    Underwhelmed

    I'm not getting the body perceived by others. Some suspect vanilla notes - chips?
