Heady dark berry, incense, floral oil, vanilla and exotic spice aromas, along with a hint of smoky minerality. Alluringly sweet, spice-laced blackberry and cassis flavors reveal a subtle touch of mocha. The interplay of depth and energy here is quite impressive. Takes a turn to more red fruit character on the strikingly long finish, where fine-grained tannins add shape and grip. Producer Bodegas y Vinedos ArtadiOne of Rioja’s best, Artadi produces wines that represent the natural balance of the environment, as well as the personality of their land. Their 85 hectares of vineyards are farmed organically with the use of biodynamic and sustainable practices that preserve the land’s biodiversity. The great wonder behind this estate is Juan Carlos López de Lacalle, who purchased the bodega from the founding cooperative group of growers. Known for their robust fruit-driven style – different from traditional Riojas – their wines have opened the doors for modern Riojan spirit to shine. With soils full of life, the estate offers several fearless bottlings, including their three single-vineyard wines – Valdeginés, La Poza de Ballesteros, El Carretil, and the outstanding family vineyard: El Pisón.
