CELLAR AMAREN
Amaren, “a mother’s wine”, began with the 1995 vintage as a tribute to Ángeles, the mother of the cellar owner Juan Luis Cañas, who currently guides our family’s destiny. AMAREN, which means “of the mother” in Basque, was the first wine conceived, made and sold by Bodegas Luis Cañas to position itself among the most outstanding wines in the country. Our mother, Ángeles, was a tireless worker right up to her death. She devoted her whole life to working on the land and in the winery alongside her husband, Luis Cañas, and her enthusiastic, kind charac5ter is present in every one of our wines.
In 2009, Juan Luis Cañas saw his dream come true, dedicating not just a wine but a whole winery to his mother.Bodegas Amaren were born. The same year, two new wines appeared, always with the family link, the philosophy and love of the vineyard: our signature wine Ángeles de Amaren and the cask-fermented White wine from old vineyards.
Amaren is the pursuit of perfection in all areas: the vineyard, the selection process, winemaking method and ageing to obtain wines which enthuse and bring pleasure.
