The History of the Winery Dates Back to 1870
The tale of Eguren Ugarte began in 1870 when a healer, Pascasio Pangua, left vineyards in his will to Anastasio, great-great-grandfather of the present owners. The fourth generation of the winemaking family was the driving force of the estate as they brought many changes in the production phases.
