Artuke is a small winery located in Baños de Ebro, a village in Rioja Alavesa. In 1991, Roberto de Miguel decided to move away from bulk wine production onto bottled wine. Now his children Arturo and Kike, whose names are the basis of the winery they now lead, are shaping this project, firmly rooted in its surroundings and landscape.
Artuke is part of Rioja’n’Roll, a group of young producers who are committed to making singular wines which reflect their origins and terroir. Conscious of their heritage they fight to preserve it rather than transform it. That is one of the reasons behind their efforts to work thevineyards they own in the old way —no trellis on site; their plants are all bush vines, even the new ones.
Fermented by carbonic maceration with whole clusters and aged in concrete tanks, this is a fresh and juicy wine that is round and soft on the palate with great balance and freshness. A wine that clearly over delivers at and excellent price!!
Arturo works organically.
