Artuke Paso las Mañas 2020 is a remarkable representative of the estate wines from Bodegas Artuke, located in the Rioja Alavesa region. This wine comes from the El Chorro vineyard in Samaniego, known for its high altitude and limestone soils. The cool climate of the area imparts a distinctive character to the Tempranillo, reflected in the wine's elegance and freshness. The 2020 vintage, with a fresh profile, allowed for a balanced and precise wine. Fermentation is carried out with indigenous yeasts, and aging takes place in large French oak fudres, respecting the vineyard's essence without excessive wood notes. On the nose, it presents aromas of cherry, pomegranate, raspberry, violets, and Mediterranean herbs, complemented by a spicy touch. On the palate, it stands out for its freshness, elegance, precise acidity, and a mineral-salty finish. It is a versatile wine, perfect for pairing with roast lamb, game birds, grilled meats, and aged cheeses. Its potential for bottle evolution promises developed longevity.
