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.

Artuke | Mixed 6 Offer

The Artuke Mixed 6 Case: A Masterclass in Modern Rioja
Discover the thrill of a wine that severely over-delivers for its price. Brothers Arturo and Kike de Miguel are the darlings of the Rioja new wave, rewriting the rules of the region. By abandoning the heavy, vanilla-oak style of the past in favour of pure, vibrant fruit, they have created a thoroughly modern style of Rioja.
Adopting a Burgundian approach, they champion organic farming, high altitudes, and site-specific wines that speak directly of their terroir. This relentless pursuit of quality recently led leading Spanish wine critic Tim Atkin MW to award Bodegas Artuke’s top cuvée a historic, perfect 100-point score.
While their 100-point wine is exceptionally rare, you can experience this world-class winemaking genius at your own table with our exclusive Artuke Mixed 6 case. This tasting tour case brings everyday luxury and the true, unmasked landscape of the Rioja Alavesa straight to your door.
What's Inside the Mixed Case:
2023 ARTUKE Rioja (91 Pts Tim Atkin MW): This joyous, bouncy rush of wild strawberry and violet is a traditional carbonic maceration blend of Tempranillo and 5% Viura. It is the perfect Tuesday night hero that you can even serve slightly chilled.
2023 RIOJA Pies Negros Crianza (93 Pts James Suckling): A juicy, plush blend of 90% Tempranillo and 10% Graciano from Ábalos. Offering aromas of sour cherry, forest floor, and fine tannins, it is the perfect companion for a Sunday roast.
2022 FINCA DE LOS LOCOS (95 Pts Tim Atkin MW): Sourced from a high-altitude, chalky 560-metre parcel in Baños de Ebro. This tense, vertical wine offers subtle stony reduction, redcurrant fruit, and a wonderfully pithy finish.
2021 RIOJA Paso Las Mañas Crianza (95 Pts Tim Atkin MW): Grown at a dizzying 720 metres on very poor soils in Samaniego. This precision-driven wine delivers thrilling minerality alongside pine, rosemary, and cranberry notes.
We have a very limited number of these mixed cases available, so we encourage you to act quickly to secure yours.
