Buy Wine from Cuentaviñas
Cuentaviñas came into being in 2018, when Eduardo Eguren, fifth generation of the prestigious Eguren family(Sierra Cantabria, Teso La Monja...), decided to embark on his own path after inheriting three exceptional plots from his maternal grandfather. The name itself is a gesture loaded with meaning: a play on words with "storyteller" transferred to the vineyard: "vineyard-teller". Each wine is a story, each plot a tale.
It was easier to remain in the comfort of the family, but Eduardo, armed with oenological studies, experience in Arcadia andCalifornia, and an overflowing passion, opted for his own intimate project. Carlota, his partner and companion on the road, shares that vision: to cultivate with soul, to vinify with precision.
The place: San Vicente and the soul of Peciña
San Vicente de la Sonsierra is the emotional heart of the project. There, in the almost uninhabited village of Peciña, where his maternal grandfather was known as "el peciñero", Eduardo finds his refuge and laboratory. Ancient wine presses, stone fretwork and a millenary stillness frame this story. Every corner evokes roots and legacy. Cuentaviñas was not born from a winery, but from the desire to understand each soil, to listen to what the vines want to tell.
The plots: jewels that speak
Eduardo works unique plots in the Sonsierra and on the cool slopes of the Sierra de la Demanda, where old vineyards -many planted between 1966 and 1972- coexist on colluvial, alluvial and chalky soils that provide an unmistakable mineral identity. Each vineyard has its own soul: from the northern exposure of Septeno - La Canoca, with limestone soils that impart tension, to the clayey and ferruginous depth of the centuries-old Garnachas of Cordovín, the stony elegance of Arriscado - El Llano, the co-planted complexity of Alomado - Viña Ayamud facing the Ebro, or the structural freshness of the limestone blocks in Los Yelsones. These landscapes are not interpreted from repeated formulas, but are vinified separately with a single obsession: to listen to the voice of each soil, of each plant, and to transfer it intact to the glass with purity, balance and truth.
Cultivation and winemaking philosophy
"Cultivate, not just vinify" is his motto. Eduardo avoids labels such as biodynamic or organic; he does not believe in dogmas, but in observation, respect for the natural cycle and working with plant covers and natural balance.
Winemaking is done in an old 18th-century wine press in Peciña. The natural coolness of the cellars and the prudent use of wood allow for clean, expressive wines with soul. Manual work covers everything: pruning, soil, ageing. There is no room for artifice.
The wine: limited production, pure essence
Since its first vintage of just 4,900 bottles, Cuentaviñas has maintained a very limited production. Its range includes labels such as Alomado, Arriscado, El Tiznado, Los Yelsones, Garnacha CDVIN and Septeno. Each wine is a bottled story, a plot that narrates its origin.
The expression is clear: clean fruit, natural freshness, firm but elegant structure. Rioja, yes, but from a contemporary and honest point of view.
