Artadi
Artadi shot to global prominence when Robert M. Parker Jr. awarded the Artadi El Pisón 2004 a magic 100 points score. Since then, this has always been an estate high on collectors’ radar screens.
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 (96)The 2015 El Carretil is nothing short of phenomenal, one of the best vintages for this pure Tempranillo, which comes from a vineyard in the village of Laguardia on soils that have a very high content of active limestone. Even if in 2014 it had been taken out of barrel a little earlier than in the previous year, the élevage was shortened even further in 2015, to nine months. It's super expressive and open, with a captivating nose, pretty much enclosing the Artadi style, clean, floral, serious, with good ripeness but without excess and with generous oak but a lot less than in the past. The palate combines power with elegance, great balance and super fine tannins. This is a great vintage for El Carretil. 6,500 bottles produced. |
