Artuke - Rioja 'Finca de los Locos' - 2021

The single-vineyard 2021 Finca de Los Locos comes from a plot in Baños de Ebro on a terrace from the Ebro River planted in 1981 on sandy and gravel soils. It's 75% Tempranillo, 20% Graciano and 5% Viura with 13.8% alcohol and a pH of 3.38, denoting very good freshness. Starting with this vintage, the wine is certified organic. It matured in 3,500-liter oak vats for one year. It feels harmonious, powerful and elegant with an expressive nose of flowers, wild berries and herbs and a touch of licorice. It's medium to full-bodied and beautifully textured, with very fine and elegant tannins. 94+ Points Luis Gutierrez, robertparker.com
