Artadi
Artadi was founded in 1985 by a group of winemakers led by Juan Carlos López de Lacalle and is located in the village of Laguardia. It has always had its eye on terroir-driven, single-vineyard production of Tempranillo in the Rioja region.
In 2016 Artadi took the brave step of leaving the official Rioja classification to focus on producing wines in a Burgundian style. By focussing on their unique single-vineyard expressions - rather than Rioja’s Crianza, Reserva and Gran Reserva ageing classifications, Artadi wines have gone from strength to strength. There is no question that today Artadi is one of Spain’s greatest producers.
“This estate qualifies as a fabulous discovery. A relatively new enterprise dedicated to producing wines at the top of the qualitative hierarchy… With a good argument, Artadi could well be considered the most exciting enterprise in Rioja” – Robert Parker, Wine Advocate

Wine Advocate (94)The 2017 Santa Cruz de Artazu is a lighter style, more elegant with better freshness (it has a very good pH), keeping the typicity of the Garnacha from the zone. This comes from small plots planted with old vines that survived the "concentración parcelaria" (a land consolidation exercise that destroyed the majority of old vineyards). It has a fine palate with vibrant flavors, great purity and very integrated oak. Really great showing for this bottling, one of the best I remember. It matured in 500-liter oak barrels for 10 months. It's very drinkable. 6,000 bottles were filled in September 2019. |
