About The Wine

Teso La Monja, named after the winery in Toro Designation of Origin. Conceived with respect for the biorhythms and energies of nature. It is the result of the loving relationship between our vinegrowers family in Rioja and Toro wine lands. As the years past by `their passion gets stronger.

This honest wine is conceived in a small, very old vineyard, so old that it contains ungrafted, pre-phylloxera vine plants.  The chalky soil gives the wine an unusual elegance and distinction. Following the agricultural practices of  ancestors in the vineyard, working only manually and with  minimum intervention, obtaining  the character and identity of the terroir.

A team of 70 people destem the bunches, berry by berry. Once fermentation has begun in an open wooden vat, the grapes are carefully pumped over at diff erent times of the day. Malolactic fermentation takes place in a special oak vat called “Ovum”, developed by Maison Taransaud coopers, with an unprecedented ovoid shape that contributes to a silkier, more elegant and integrated wine. The wine is aged in three fine-grained, medium-toasted French oak barrels for 24 months, plus two months in a tank before bottling.

In a limited edition of only 890 numbered bottles and presented with a wooden case that is also a display, Teso la Monja 2017 is presented, one of the most exclusive wines from the brothers Marcos and Miguel Eguren and also one of the great myths. from the Toro region. A wine that was born with the vocation of legend and whose memory lasts for a long time. This vintage, which is currently finishing refining, is characterized by being one of the driest in history and for coming from one of the most advanced harvests in memory in the area.
