Teso la Monja
Teso la Monja is the fruit of the Eguren family's long-standing efforts to recognise this specific land as one that can produce distinctive and high-quality wines with long ageing potential.
The Eguren family is credited with putting this country on the world wine map, having produced a wine on one of their former estates that was rated an unimaginable 100 points by Robert Parker (world critic and connoisseur)! This has attracted the interest of many buyers and connoisseurs worldwide and laid the foundation for the classification of the DO Toro region.
The Eguren family cultivates several vineyards using biodynamic principles. The vineyards are planted in poor sandy and clayey soils, which are spread over layers of limestone and covered with a layer of gravel that absorbs heat during the day and radiates it at night. The composition of the soil has prevented the vine louse from wreaking havoc here, and there are quite a few wines produced from vineyards that are more than 100 years old, on substrates that have not been grafted.
