La Hoya 2022 from Artadi is a single-vineyard wine made from Tempranillo, certified organic, from Rioja Alavesa, which brilliantly reflects the terroir at the foot of the Sierra Cantabria thanks to its bright freshness, silky texture, and mineral grip.

Color: Cherry red

Aromas:
Fresh red, blue, and black fruits, supported by a fresh mineral note and herbal hints – lively, elegant, and distinctive.

Taste:
Clear and fresh as a mountain torrent, with lively acidity, expressive primary aromas, a silky texture and fine, elegant tannins; a mineral grip and fantastic drinkability.

Character:
Energetic, pure and straight – it blends the dark fruits and tannic richness associated with the proximity to the Sierra Cantabria with red fruits and the finesse of the Ebro area.

Food pairing:
Herb-crusted rack of lamb, mushrooms braised with polenta, aged Manchego.

Special features:
Single-vineyard wine certified organic, from 60-year-old vines planted in soils rich in limestone, sandstone and clay; spontaneously fermented and increasingly aged in large used oak barrels for an understated elegance and clarity.
