TASTING NOTES
A young, vivacious red wine from Rioja produced by Bodegas Artuke (brothers Arturo and Kike). Bright, juicy summer berry fruit, smooth body with some chalky tannins.
| REGION | Spain > Rioja |
| GRAPE(S) | Tempernillo & Viura |
| VINTAGE | 2021 |
| ABV | 13.5% |
| FEATURES | Organic |
| SCALE | Dry |
It is a blend of Tempranillo (95%) and Viura (5%) from a mix of their vines planted between 1902 and 2005.
Artuke is produced by the carbonic maceration method - most associated with Beaujolais and yet just as traditional, but rarely seen outside of Rioja. The style, cosecheros, is literally what the locals in the Basque zone of Rioja (Alavesa) are drinking while waiting for their more structured Riojas to age.
