Bodegas y Viñedos Artuke

Rioja, Spain

Artuke is run by the family of Miguel Blanco, who have been working the land in this Northern part of Rioja Alavesa for over a century. Now, the helm is taken by Miguel's two sons Arturo and Kike de Miguel which as you might guess, is where the name 'Artuke' is derived from. The aim of the brothers has been to create a new and individual wine which still respects the history of the wine region and of their family wine tradition. The result is a thoroughly modern style of Rioja, but not heavily extracted or heavily wooded in style. These wines from Rioja are rooted firmly in their terroir. Artuke is all about small scale, biodynamic production with 22 hectares of vines spread over 32 plots between the stunning, hilly villages of Baños de Ebro and Abalos on the upper terrace of the river Ebro in La Rioja Alta, Northern Spain.
