Rioja Artuke La Condemnada: A mineral and elegant profile.
This red wine from Rioja, made mainly with the native Ull de lebre (80%), complemented with the varieties Graciano (10%), Garnatxa (5%) and fine Palomino (5%), is a clear exponent of the mineral expression that the sandy and gravelly soils of Baños de Ebro, in Álava, can offer.
The vineyards, located at an altitude of 530 meters above sea level and subjected to an Atlantic climate with Mediterranean influences, bring a unique aromatic complexity to the grapes.
The harvest is carried out manually, carefully selecting the grains to ensure the highest quality.
In vinification, the spontaneous malolactic fermentation in 600 liter French oak vats stands out, which gives the wine a silky texture and a harmonious integration of the wood.
Subsequently, it ages for 12 months in oak barrels of the same capacity, a period sufficient for the primary aromas of the grape to be complemented by spicy and toasted notes contributed by the wood.
In the glass, this Rioja presents an intense ruby red color with violet reflections.
On the nose, its aromatic complexity stands out, with notes of ripe red fruit (cherry, raspberry), floral (violets) and spicy (clove, black pepper), on a mineral background reminiscent of slate and wet stones.
In the mouth, it is elegant, with a gentle entrance and a fluid and enveloping mouthfeel.
Its balanced acidity provides freshness and gives it great persistence.
The tannins are present but well integrated, providing structure and elegance.
The finish is long and persistent, with a return of the fruit and mineral notes perceived on the nose.
This wine pairs perfectly with red meats barbecue, game stews, cured cheeses and traditional dishes.
It is recommended to serve between 16 and 18ºC to appreciate all its aromatic nuances.
In short, Rioja Artuke La Condemnada is a wine that reflects the essence of the soils and climate of Baños de Ebro, offering a unique and memorable sensory experience.
A tribute to a territory and a wine that deserve to be discovered.
