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.
