A Jorge Ordoñez Selection, Viñedos de Paganos, a modern winery with an old-school feel was founded in 1998 by the Eguren family and is part Sierra Cantabria's holdings. ¿Confuso? The grapes for their El Puntido are sourced from 1970's era vineyards, fermented in open-top vats with indigenous yeast, then transferred to new French barriques for just over two years. An unusually burly, well-muscled Gran Reserva.
