El Puntido 2017 Red Wine

Elaboration

El Puntido 2017 begins with a conviction that a single vineyard in Rioja Alavesa was exceptional enough to deserve a winery of its own. Viñedos de Páganos was founded by the Eguren family in 1998 — the same family that has been cultivating vines and producing great wine in La Rioja under the Sierra Cantabria name since 1870 — specifically to give El Puntido the focused attention and dedicated winemaking that one extraordinary piece of land deserves. The vineyard's perfect combination of climate, soil and the natural character of Tempranillo grown in Rioja Alavesa produces wines of consistent excellence that have earned national and international acclaim across every vintage. Aged for 18 months in French oak barrels, El Puntido 2017 develops a complexity and depth that balances the natural power of the vineyard with the refinement that five generations of Eguren winemaking expertise invariably delivers. A single vineyard wine of genuine and unwavering character.
