- Artadi was a cause of controversy in 2015, when they quit the Rioja DOCa, making a statement against the appellation’s unwillingness to recognise specific terrors within the region, and refusal to allow vineyards to be named on labels.
- Artadi creates expressive, fruit-driven wines, using modern winemaking techniques, and uses French oak rather than American oak.
- The entry level Vinas de Gain Tempranillo provides tremendous value with layers of clean, complex fruit.
- The flagship Viña El Pisón has averaged an incredible 97.75/100 Robert Parker score since 2004’s 100 point vintage.
SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURE
“The land is considered a singular, living being, and each plant, stone, and creature are its vital organs.”
Artadi goes to great lengths in counterbalancing the monoculture of wine grape cultivation, preserving not only biodiversity within their properties but also the precious genetic diversity of the indigenous vines in the vineyards. Viticulture is based on organic, sustainable, and biodynamic concepts, using absolutely no fertilisers or synthetic substances in the fields. This philosophy protects the winemaking heritage of the region and ensures the maximum potential of expression in the wines.
ARTADI
ARTADI owns 80 hectares of vineyards around Laguardia in Álavesa, Rioja.
The soils are primarily composed of nutrient-poor clay and limestone.
The individual Vineyards are unique, with finesse and transparency, and clear quality of fruit, nurtured by careful vinification and ageing in French Oak, rather than American.
EL SEQUE
At El Sequé there is a combination between Mediterranean weather, poor soils, Monastrell vines, and thousand-year-old tradition. This makes a nearly perfect symbiosis that provides us with great wines of fresh aromas, silky textures and a big tactile graciousness. These are wines wrapped in a flavourful Mediterranean character.
Powerful balsamic notes, mature fruit, unctuous: a fleshy wine that satisfies the identity of the Monastrell variety from the old vineyards of El Sequé within Alicante.
Produced from 100 % estate-grown fruit, this wine has a clear Mediterranean influence, with warm and calm nuances of black fruit and soft aromas and tastes of balsamic and aromatic plants. This is a wine with an authentic Mediterranean character
VIÑA EL PISÓN
The inimitable Viña El Pisón produces a wine which is a reflection of the competence of our ancestors and the passion of those who want to keep the spirit of a vineyard alive.
2,4 has. of vineyard located on a modest inclination protected by natural stone fence. Strong structured soil with poor composition.
The delicate balance between all of the natural agents that comprise this unique environment produces a wine that is full of subtle minerality, fine fruit, both complex and delicate seasoned nuances and tannins that have enveloping and caressing volumes. This is a wine with surprising expressivity; a wine with a natural elegance that provokes deep and changing feelings.
