A true First Growth of Rioja, the Viñedos y Bodegas Sierra Cantabria group is owned and operated by the Eguren family. For over 150 years and through five generations, the Eguren family has been at the forefront of Rioja's winemaking heritage, pioneering single-vineyard expressions and elevating the region's terroir to new heights. Rooted in the village of San Vicente de la Sonsierra, their journey began as viticulturists, tending to the vines that would one day shape some of Spain's most celebrated wines. With an unwavering dedication to Tempranillo, the family has meticulously studied the microclimates, soils, and altitudes of their vineyards, crafting wines that capture the purest expressions of this noble grape and timeless village.

Focused on traditionally classified Rioja wines—Crianza, Reserva, and Gran Reserva—Bodegas Sierra Cantabria remains a benchmark for elegance Rioja wines marked by the freshness and minerality of San Vicente de la Sonsierra.
