Cuentavinas

Cuentavinas

Cuentaviñas is the new project of Eduardo Eguren, a fifth-generation member of the Eguren family, who are owners of some of the greatest wineries in Spain. Having long dreamt of producing a Rioja which put the grapes’ character at the fore, after inheriting three prime vineyards from his grandfather he made his dream a reality. Eduardo wanted his wines to tell a story. The name Cuentaviñas is a play on words, cuentacuentos meaning storyteller, so cuentaviñas translates to vineyard-teller. Production is minuscule, allowing for practices such as ploughing by horse, hand-pruning and canopy management, much of which Eduardo does himself. Cuentaviñas is an excellent example of the ‘new Spain’. Its practices blend the best of Rioja with the best of Burgundy and the Rhône, and what a story these wines tell!
