Artadi La Hoya 2020 is one of the latest parcel wines from the renowned Artadi project, hailing from a unique vineyard located in Elvillar, in the heart of Rioja Alavesa. This wine is made exclusively from organically cultivated Tempranillo grapes, using manual viticulture methods and minimal intervention. The harvest is done by hand, ensuring the careful selection of bunches and berries. Fermentation occurs in open wooden vats, where a gentle extraction is performed to preserve the vineyard's natural elegance. The wine then ages for approximately 9 to 10 months in French barrels and larger casks, followed by additional fining in a fudre. This process allows for a fresh and precise profile without the wood dominating. In terms of aromas, Artadi La Hoya 2020 exhibits a deep and elegant nose, with notes of ripe red fruits like cherries, plums, and fresh black fruit, complemented by aromatic herbs, anise, white pepper, fresh tobacco, and mineral and spicy touches. On the palate, it is a enveloping, balanced, and very fine wine, with silky tannins and great freshness. Its fluid texture and precision set it apart, moving away from overripe or heavy styles. The finish is long, mineral, and spicy, showcasing an excellent potential for bottle evolution. Ideal for accompanying lamb, red meats, fine dining, poultry, mushrooms, or aged cheeses, Artadi La Hoya 2020 fits into an elegant and contemporary style, reaffirming the quality of viticulture in Rioja Alavesa.
