Description
Discover Ukan, the iconic red wine of Ukan Winery, a liquid masterpiece that redefines the elegance of the DOCa Rioja. Crafted by Koldo Eguren, belonging to the fifth generation of a distinguished family of winegrowers, this limited-production wine is the ultimate expression of the terroir of Rioja Alavesa.
Ukan is born from a meticulous selection of old Tempranillo vineyards, bush-trained on clay-limestone soils in the prestigious villages of Laguardia, Elciego, and Lapuebla. The philosophy of minimal intervention and absolute respect for the vineyard results in a red wine of exceptional purity. In the winery, the hand harvest in 15 kg crates is followed by a double sorting table, ensuring that only the finest bunches and berries reach fermentation. Vinified in small oak vats and aged for 16 months in French oak barrels, Ukan achieves a perfect balance between vibrant fruit and subtle oak.
Ukan not only promises immediate enjoyment, but also possesses extraordinary ageing potential. Buying Ukan means investing in the history and future of Rioja Alavesa, a wine awarded by international critics such as Tim Atkin, capturing the essence of a unique landscape in every bottle.
