Sourced from 30 different parcels in 脕balos, originally owned by Arturo de Miguel's mother's side of the family, this is a great value introduction to the bodega's reds. Lilac, violet and wild thyme aromas lead you into a pithy, focused, very lightly wooded palate of bramble, redcurrant and black cherry, supported by subtle reduction and racy acidity Drinking range: 2026 - 2035 Rating: 93 Tim Atkin MW, www.timatkin.com (Feb 2025)

*Case price discount: Mix any 12 bottles of wine (or 9 litre equivalent) or 6 bottles of Champagne, Spirits, Sweet Wine or Fortified (4.5 litres) to get the discounted 'case price' for each bottle.
An excellent red with lots of cherries, plums, grilled herbs, peppery spices and touches of chalk and graphite. The slightly rustic tannins offer gravity and the energy and bright acidity make you want to drink more than one glass. Tempranillo and graciano. Better in one more year when the tannins round off a bit more. Rating: 92 Zekun Shuai www.jamessuckling.com (Aug 2024)
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 Ba帽os 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.
