Artadi 'Vinas de Gain' Tinto Tempranillo

Tasting Notes: This bottle is a very well-balanced Tempranillo. The fruit flavors are complemented with notes of oak aging without being too strong.

 

“Intense and focused nose with ripe blackberries, dark strawberries, iron, wild herbs, and spices. Pretty tense and broad on the palate with a plethora of fresh, vertical tannins. Vibrant and fruit expressive.” – 94 Points, James Suckling

"The young red 2019 Viñas de Gaín was produced with Tempranillo grapes that fermented in oak and stainless steel vats followed by malolactic in barrel and an élevage in barrel of nine months. They aimed for a fresh and fruit-driven, juicy red that comes from a low-yielding year, so the wine is concentrated but keeps the approachable style. It has nice balance.” – 92 Points, Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate

The Artadi Estate was created in 1985 by winemaker Juan Carlos Lopez de la Calle and local vine-growers. Their goal was to highlight the unique characteristics of Tempranillo and respect the know-how of their ancestors. The estate focuses on the purity of extracted fruit with almost Burgundian textures. Today, Artadi owns 65 hectares of vineyard in their original site of Alava. The distinctive vineyard sites give singularity to their wines, allowing the character of the fruit and the finesse of the tannins to shine. They are some of the best examples of Tempranillo in the world.
