Artuke red wine 2022

Wine description for Artuke red wine 2022 from Artuke

Colour & appearance

Presented in a transparent purple-red colour with a violet rim - a classic appearance for a young Rioja that has been vinified using the traditional carbonic acid blend.

Nose

Expressive red berry fruit dominates the bouquet without being overpowering. Floral nuances and mineral hints provide a refreshing balance and give the wine a pleasant complexity beyond the pure fruitiness.

Palate

Medium-bodied with a silky texture and soft tannins. The fresh acidity is perfectly integrated and makes the wine extraordinarily drinkable. Typical of the carbonic acid blend, there is a subtle hint of banana, which is never overly prominent. The mineral depth is remarkable and sets this Cosechero pleasantly apart from many of the fruit-drunk representatives in its category.

General information

This entry-level wine from Artuke is made from 95% from Tempranillo and 5% Viura from vineyards in Baños del Ebro. The traditional Basque carbonic acid mixture gives it its characteristic, uncomplicated style. It is matured exclusively in steel and concrete tanks, which optimally preserves the freshness of the fruit. At 13.5% alcohol, it is perfectly balanced and ready to drink now.

Food pairing suggestions

Excellent for grilled mushrooms and Black pudding from Iberico pigs. The soft structure and fresh acidity also make it the ideal accompaniment for Tapas, Chorizo and Grilled vegetables.

Special features

An exemplary Cosechero wine that is a worthy representative of the Basque Rioja tradition. It impresses with its exceptional value for money and the successful balance between fruitiness and minerality. Perfectly designed for immediate enjoyment.
