Artadi
Artadi was founded in 1985 by a group of winemakers led by Juan Carlos López de Lacalle and is located in the village of Laguardia. It has always had its eye on terroir-driven, single-vineyard production of Tempranillo in the Rioja region.
In 2016 Artadi took the brave step of leaving the official Rioja classification to focus on producing wines in a Burgundian style. By focussing on their unique single-vineyard expressions - rather than Rioja’s Crianza, Reserva and Gran Reserva ageing classifications, Artadi wines have gone from strength to strength. There is no question that today Artadi is one of Spain’s greatest producers.
“This estate qualifies as a fabulous discovery. A relatively new enterprise dedicated to producing wines at the top of the qualitative hierarchy… With a good argument, Artadi could well be considered the most exciting enterprise in Rioja” – Robert Parker, Wine Advocate

Vinous (92)
Ruby-red. Cherry-vanilla, black raspberry and candied flowers on the intensely perfumed nose. Plush and expansive, with hefty dark berry and bitter cherry flavors, along with suggestions of cola and mocha. A spicy note adds bite to the finish, which is firmed by supple, harmonious tannins. Very successful for this difficult, uneven vintage.HK$6,380.00 -

The 2008 Vina el Pison comes from a single vineyard planted in 1945 on pure limestone. It is the epitome of elegance with a sensual bouquet, a silky texture, already complex flavors, and a lengthy, pure finish. It will offer at least a 20 year lifespan, just long enough for the 2009 to be hitting its stride.HK$6,330.00 -
