i. Biography
Rubén Pérez Cuevas works at the technical core of Bodega Ontañón in Logroño, where oenology is practiced as a sequence of exact cellar decisions rather than a matter of profile or display. In wine, the finished bottle is built through repetition, control, and judgment; Pérez Cuevas’s work sits inside that chain, where small adjustments compound into the final character of the wine. His specialty is winemaking, and that focus defines the terms of his practice: measured, attentive, and grounded in the discipline of turning grapes into wine.
The Path
Today, Rubén Pérez Cuevas holds the oenologist role at Bodega Ontañón, keeping him close to the winery’s seasonal tempo and day-to-day cellar work. At Bodega Ontañón, he oversees the winemaking of both Queirón and Bodega Ontañón wineries, bringing technical oversight to a process that depends on consistency as much as sensitivity. This kind of work is built through observation, repetition, and the steady accumulation of judgment. Pérez Cuevas’s path is defined by that same attention to detail.
The Work Today
Today, Pérez Cuevas works as the oenologist at Bodega Ontañón in Logroño. The role sits at the center of cellar work, where decisions are made through careful adjustments, controls, and assessments rather than broad gestures. It asks for technical precision and close attention to what the wine needs at each stage, then translating that into action. The work is disciplined and hands-on, guiding fermentation, maturation, and final preparation toward a coherent result. Within that setting, his role is practical and essential. It rarely makes noise on its own, but it shapes what the cellar produces. The result is a working life organized around calibration and continuity, with the emphasis on winemaking craft rather than visibility.
Signature
Rubén's signature wines include Ontañón Reserva, Ontañón Clarete, Ontañón Natura, and Ontañón Crianza. These are the wines most closely associated with his work, each one reflecting the cellar decisions and technical care that define his position.

Acclaim
The recognition here is the oenologist post itself: a named winemaking role at a Logroño winery.
