Viticulture

Made with Organic Grapes is produced from certified organic trellised vineyards of Macabeo planted primarily in the limits of DO Manchuela between 600 and 700M above sea level.

Farming

Certified Organic

Terroir

Poor calcareous clay soils with a high proportion of limestone. The surface is spotted with pebbles, resulting in good surface drainage.

Vineyard

Most of the vineyards for the Dominio de Eguren project are leased on long term contracts in Manchuela. The Eguren controls and lowers the yields as much as possible on these trellised vineyards planted in calcareous-clay soils in order to produce high quality wines. A significant percentage of the production is also sourced from their young vineyards in Rioja and Toro, planted with old clone massal selection Tempranillo and Tinta de Toro, before the vines are deemed old enough to be used for the estate bottled wines.

Vinification

The grapes undergo a short cold maceration and are pressed and vinified in stainless steel. Fermentation occurs at low temperatures to retain the natural aromatics of the Macabeo. Cold stabilized and bottled early in the season to preserve freshness.
