Bodegas Amaren

Bodegas Amaren was born in honor of Ángeles, wife of Luis Cañas and mother of Juan Luis ( owner of Bodegas Luis Cañas, in Rioja Alavesa).

In 1995, Juan Luis Cañas was planning to make a different sort of wine, a wine that expressed the personality of the variety to the maximum. This would be 100% Tempranillo from several plots of old vineyards. At that time, his mother Ángeles died and that is when he created, his new fragrance: Amaren Reserva Tempranillo 1995.

Amaren which, in Basque means «of the mother», was a tribute to Ángeles (Luis Cañas´s wife) a fundamental pillar in the creation and development of Bodegas Luis Cañas. From then, Juan Luis worked to honour his beloved mother with her own winery, which was founded in 2016.

Concrete, stone and wood, is the essence of Amaren.

A spectacular experience, their wines are a delicacy for the palate, the attention and the tour of the winery a wonder. Thank you Natalia and all the staff who allow us to get to know your wines and be amazed by them. Greetings from the USA, Tampa, Florida, our glasses and the Reserva wine arrived safely. Yes, thank you very much...

Incredibly cool place, especially the research they are doing on climate change's effects on winemaking. Natalia gave us a great tour and the wine is fantastic.

Wow! The wine here is amazing! This winery seems creative yet traditional, making relevant wines using a balance of respect for tradition with current processes. A must visit if you're in Rioja.

An incredible experience... You learn a lot with the friendly guided tour led by Natalia. A km 0 winery that puts a lot of emphasis on artisanal, organic, environmentally friendly and very well cared for work, from the vineyard to the winery winemaking, which is great
