2023 Artadi - Viñedos Lacalle y Laorden, Viña El Pisón - Rioja - 6 Bottles (0.75L)

Viña El Pisón 2023 - Artadi

It is Artadi's most emblematic single-vineyard wine. 100% Tempranillo from 2.4 hectares in Laguardia - Rioja Alavesa, planted in 1945 by grandfather Jenaro on deep clay-limestone soil, at an altitude of 540m. Ecological/biodynamic viticulture, hand harvest, 6,000 bottles.

It is a powerful yet subtle wine, with an elegant texture, sweet but firm tannins and great persistence. With lots of dark fruit, minerality, licorice and a touch of spice. Very fine and perfumed for a Tempranillo from Álava.
