Viñedos de Páganos

The Eguren family has become an institution in Rioja, leading three prestigious wineries in this denomination and creators of the masterful Finca El Bosque, Amancio, El Puntido, and La Nieta. The Eguren family owns Viñedos de Páganos, located in the medieval village of Laguardia in Rioja Alavesa. Here, they produce the brands Calados del Puntido (around 20,000 bottles), El Puntido (48,000 to 72,000 bottles), La Nieta (4,000 to 6,000 bottles), and El Puntido Gran Reserva (4,000 to 6,000 bottles). These red wines rank among the most important on the national scene. The winery is designed in the style of 16th-century wineries, and the wines rest under privileged conditions: in underground cellars carved into rock.
