Back in the early 1990s, this carbonic maceration blend of Tempranillo and 5% Viura was the only wine that the De Miguel family made. Foot-trodden and fermented in concrete, it's just a wonderful drink, busting with aromas of violet and wild thyme and a palate of plum, strawberry and raspberry coulis. Drinking range: 2025 - 2029 Rating: 91 Tim Atkin MW, www.timatkin.com (Feb 2025)

Brambly nose with sour cherries, ripe strawberries and touches of bubble gum and flowers that come from carbonic maceration. Bright acidity with good energy. Not complex but quite cheerful, laid-back and drinkable. Tempranillo and 7% to 10% viura. Drink now. Rating: 90 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 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.
