A delicious, bright, fresh unoaked Rioja (aged 3-6 months in concrete tanks) from the exceptional Artuke winery. A small amount of the white Viura is added to the Tempranillo, and this makes the wine that bit more perfumed and juicy. Partial carbonic maceration is used to promote the bright primary fruitiness of the Tempranillo, red berry and cherry. It’s bright and fresh with a real mouthwatering finish. Some tannin on the finish gives the wine some structure and balance, and its oh so drinkable!
“The eponymous 2024 Artuke is a juicy and tasty carbonic maceration red, a modern rendition of the classical “cosechero” wines. It is perfumed, aromatic and heady, with aromas of bubble gum and flowers and a velvety palate with almost unnoticeable tannins. It’s a young and unoaked Tempranillo with some 5% white Viura grapes from the village of Baños de Ebro and was kept in concrete until it was bottled. 80,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in December 2024. This is a bargain to buy by the truckload and drink unashamedly.” 92 pts Luis Gutiérrez The Wine Advocate
