Viñedos De Páganos

Viñedos de Páganos is one of Sierra Cantabria's exclusive wineries, located in the village of Páganos in Rioja Alavesa amongst dolmens, archaeological sites and ancient chapels. Founded in 1998 by Marcos and Miguel Eguren and carved into the stone of the vineyard, the objective of Viñedos de Páganos winery is to produce great wines that represent all of the intrinsic characteristics and personality that the union of climate, soil and grape varieties offers.

The cellar sits in the exceptional El Puntido vineyard, the name of which was taken from an old word meaning "staircase landing" thanks to the similarity of shape that this land forms between the Sierra de Cantabria and the Ebro River valley. The area is predominantly influenced by an Atlantic climate, although it has continental nuances due to the shelter from the cold, north winds afforded by the Sierra de Cantabria.

The soils of the Viñedos de Páganos estate are calcareous clay or clay-loam in texture with a sandstone subsoil, giving the vineyard, and therefore its wines, a unique mineral personality. Tempranillo is perfectly adapted to these soils, and beautifully expresses the terroir in which the vineyard is planted.
