Artuke

Rioja Tempranillo 2025

A fresh, modern take on Rioja that delivers youthful energy and fruit-forward charm. It’s made by Bodegas y Viñedos Artuke based in Baños de Ebro (Rioja Alavesa), from 95% Tempranillo and a splash (≈ 5%) of Viura. 

Expect a bright cherry-red with violet rim, and on the nose a bouquet of red and black fruits - think morello cherry, raspberry, blackberry - layered with floral hints of violets and a subtle herbal-licorice undertow. On the palate it’s juicy, soft and fun: ripe red-fruit flavours, gentle acidity, velvet-smooth tannins and a lively, slightly stem-driven texture from whole-cluster carbonic maceration. Un-oaked and bottled from concrete vats, it’s a light, drink-now red, spontaneous, vibrant, and perfect for casual meals, tapas, or simply chilled on a warm evening
