My roots and taste for the wine, have turned in more than just a hobby

Sara Ugarte

"I was born and grew up in one of the cradles of Rioja wine, San Asensio, my beautiful village in La Rioja Alta; and as a good Riojan, my roots and taste for wine soon became more than just a hobby..." 


She has been part of this House for more than 20 years. Sara has lived the evolution and development of this winery with her own.


She studied Oenology at the University of Logroño, a few steps that were not the first to enter the world of wine, as her roots have viticulture in her blood. But they were very important steps for her to fulfill her childhood dream of creating great wines. For more than 18 years she has been working side by side with Julián and his son Javier Murúa. Together, they taste, blend, analyze, re-taste, .... and from their palate come great wines that are transformed into great moments. They work the magic she always dreamed of. 


In the laboratory, in her white coat, in front of the computer, taking samples from barrels, from tanks, this is how you find Sara in her daily life, but Sara is much more, Sara is a mother, a wife, a friend, and a good colleague, this is Sara.  


Her story is our story.
