Viñedos de Páganos El Puntido 2016 is one of Rioja Alavesa’s most celebrated single-vineyard wines, crafted by the renowned Eguren family. Produced exclusively from the historic El Puntido vineyard located in Laguardia, this flagship Tempranillo showcases the exceptional terroir, meticulous viticulture, and precision winemaking that have established Viñedos de Páganos among Spain’s elite producers.

The outstanding 2016 vintage is widely regarded as one of Rioja’s finest in recent decades, offering remarkable concentration, freshness, and ageing potential. Sourced from old vines planted in limestone-clay soils, El Puntido combines power and elegance with exceptional depth and complexity. Extended ageing in French oak barrels enhances the wine’s structure while preserving its vibrant fruit character and mineral-driven identity.
