THE WINERY

Teso La Monja marks the beginning of a new era for the Eguren family in the D.O. Toro, a region they fell in love with, seduced by its pre-phylloxera vines and deep roots vineyards.

The Bodega elaborates wines that convey not only the potential of the Tinta de Toro and the minerality of the soils, but also the elegance, freshness, and finesse that are the trademark of all the Eguren family’s wines.

The Bodega owns 90 hectares of vineyards located in Valdefinjas, Toro y Villabuena del Puente. The average vine age is about 50 years old, with some of the vineyards reaching 130 years. They practice sustainable viticulture with a great respect for nature and its surroundings, working with the plant’s cycles. Moreover, they employ only organic fertilisers and natural products. Their aim is to obtain wines of the highest purity possible and maximum expression of terroir.
