ABOUT THIS BOTTLE
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. One of the two village wines. This one comes from a vineyard higher in altitude than Artuke. Richer than Artuke thanks to the oak aging. Red fruit, licorice, still very fresh and bright.
