K4' Rioja 2014
Artuke is a small family winery located in Baños de Ebro, a village in Rioja Alavesa on the banks of the Ebro river. In 1991, Roberto de Miguel made the decision to stop producing bulk wine and start bottled wine. Now his children Arturo and Kike, (whose names are the basis of the winery) are leading the project. Their grow is based on recuperating abandoned vineyards, and making new single vineyard wines. K4 represented (it is not made anymore) the modern techniques that Arturo learn in college. The wine goes through long maceration and new french oak. More powerful and darker than the other labels, still clean and precise.
