In 1996, Juan Carlos López de Lacalle—the winemaker behind Artadi—took over an old, defunct village wine cooperative. Where others saw a closed business, Juan Carlos recognized the immense value in the ancient, gnarled bush vines growing on the surrounding hillsides. He committed completely to organic farming, spending the next two decades nurturing these historic plots back to health and proving that this corner of Spain could produce incredibly exciting, vibrant wines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10\"\u003eWhat makes these wines standout is the estate's high-altitude location. The vineyards sit high up in the hills where they catch chilly winds coming off the Atlantic Ocean. This breezy, cooler climate slows down the ripening process, allowing the grapes to develop a natural crispness and bright fruit flavours. The star grape here is \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"10\" data-index-in-node=\"334\"\u003eGarnacha\u003c\/b\u003e (along with a little bit of rare \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"10\" data-index-in-node=\"376\"\u003eGarnacha Blanca\u003c\/b\u003e), which grows in the stony soils around the historic, old towns of Artazu and \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"10\" data-index-in-node=\"470\"\u003eSan Martín de Unx\u003c\/b\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"11\"\u003eFor anyone who loves a red wine that is bright, juicy, and packed with flavour while remaining light on its feet, this collection is an absolute treat. These wines are bursting with crunchy red cherries, wild strawberries, and a touch of cracked black pepper. Because they have such a lovely, crisp profile, they leave your palate feeling completely refreshed. They are incredibly easygoing and versatile, making them the perfect match for a \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"11\" data-index-in-node=\"442\"\u003eclassic Sunday roast chicken\u003c\/b\u003e, grilled pork chops from the butcher, or a casual night in with wood-fired pepperoni pizzas.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"artazu-santa-cruz-de-artazu-tinto","title":"Artazu Santa Cruz de Artazu Tinto 2019\/20","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Bodegas y Viñedos Artazu 'Santa Cruz de Artazu' Tinto is the result of unique Garnacha grapes from small vineyards scattered throughout Artazu, a haven of winemaking history. These centuries-old vineyards grow on calcareous silt soils that create the most special expression of this spot in the Valdizarbe Valley. In Artazu, the continental pre-Pyrenean climate combines with the Atlantic influence of the Cantabrian Sea, giving this town a unique climate. At the winery, after malolactic fermentation in barrel the wine is matured in 500 lite French oak barrels for 12 months. The finished wine displays notes of red fruit and cherries, floral aromas such as lavender, and hints of scrubland. A powerful expression extracted from these limestone soils.
