Such a beautiful stylish modern Rioja, deeply fruited with black cherry, plum and dark chocolate. Sleek, ripe and deliciously polished with such amazing depth of flavour. Tannins are ripe and give structure, overlaid with succulent black fruits, with a delicious dark cocoa nib finish. L&S (Nov 2021)

This is a joyous and lively expression of Tempranillo, with a little Graciano, from the banks of the Ebro River in the small but high quality sub-region of Rioja Alavesa. Brother and sister Arturo and Kike (hence Artuke) are in the business of letting each of their vineyards speak of their origins and their La Condenada bottling is one of the most highly sought-after wines in the region. Pies Negros, however, is a gentle and wallet-friendly introduction to their wines with juicy and full-flavoured fruit and is perfect slightly chilled in the summer with Ottolenghi style Mediterranean dishes.Association of Wine Educators (Feb 2022)
Artuke
These wines from Rioja are rooted firmly in their terroir. Artuke is all about small scale, biodynamic production: twenty two hectares of vines spread over thirty two plots between the stunning, hilly villages of Baños de Ebro and Abalos on the upper terrace of the river Ebro in La Rioja Alta, Northern Spain. Artuke is run by the family of Miguel Blanco, who have been working the land in this Northern part of Rioja Alavesa for over a century. Now, the helm is taken by Miguel's two sons Arturo and Kike de Miguel which as you might guess, is where the name 'Artuke' is derived from. The aim of the brothers has been this: To create a new and individual wine which still respects the history of the wine region and of their family wine tradition. The result: A thoroughly modern style of Rioja, but not heavily extracted or heavily wooded in style.
