Good To Know: El Puntido comes from old Spanish which translates to "staircase landing." The term picturesquely describes the topography of the land between the Sierra de Cantabria and the Ebro River. Vinedo de Paganos' El Puntido wines have been in production since 2001 and have increased in quality after each and every vintage primarily due to their focus on lowering yields over the last 12 years. The winery was founded with the goal of highlighting "El Puntido" and "La Nieta," two phenomenal single vineyards, located in the ancient medieval town of Páganos and near the village of Laguardia in Basque Country's Rioja Alavesa sub region.
Vinedo de Paganos was founded by the Eguren family and is just one of the amazing wineries under the main company, Sierra Cantabria, which was originally founded in 1870 (previously known as Bodegas Eguren.) Apart from Vinedo de Paganos, the company also owns renowned wineries such as Senorio de San Vicente, Teso La Monja and Dominio de Eguren. The company today is led by a 4th generation Eguren and one of Spain's most celebrated winemakers, Marcus Eguren.
