Product info
This cuvée is a tribute to the two brothers' paternal grandfather who bought the Peñaescalera vine in Baños de Ebro.
A vine with a veru low yield, located at the high end of the village, so for a while no one harvested it anymore.
And as the soil was very stony, no one would have been "loco" (crazy) enough to buy it in the 50's.
But the loco grandfather did it, and its 2.8 hectares now called Finca de los Locos, produced a magnificent wine. And we are all crazy about it!
Vinification
First selection of the grapes in the vine, only the best are used.
Then these are transported ti the cellar in large but shallow baskets so that they do not crush one another and the berries stay in an optimal condition.
A second selection is made at the cellar on a sorting table then the bunches are de-stemmed and sent by gravity to the steel tanks for fermentation. Only natural indigenous yeasts are used. The malolactic fermentation takes place in casks from 500 to 3,500 litres. The wine stays there to age for 15 more months.
Storage potential

Best moment: 2026-2029

Trial analysis
This is the most powerful of all the Artuke brothers' cuvées.
deep red colour. On the nose, the spiciness of the Graciano (20% of the blend) is brought out.
On the palate, a very elegant black fruit and Mediterranean notes with a nice acidity.
The finish is very long. Not bad for a mad house!

Wine estate

Artuke is a small estate founded in 1991 by Miguel Blanco, joined some years later by his sons Arturo and Kike. Hence the name of the estate, which covers 22 ha, divided into 32 parcels, including some exceptional crus.
The family played a crucial part in the Rioja 'n Roll movement born in the region some years ago. This movement groups young oenologists who work within the same philosophy - producing terroir wines the most natural way, respecting the environment and their iconic grape, Tempranillo, but also other ancient varieties often found in field-blend vines.

Description

Located in the small village of Baños de Ebro, 520 m above sea level, on sandy soils, La Condenada is one of the most spectacular vine in the whole Rioja region. This vine dating from the 1920's is mainly planted with Tempranillo, but it has other - local -companions. It owes its name ("condemned") to the fact that it was nearly abandoned before the Artuke brothers saved it. Two years of effort were needed to get it back into shape, and the first crop came in the 3rd. And what a crop! No doubt this is Rioja at its best.
