Artuke

Rioja Alavesa Tempranillo and Graciano with critical recognition.

Artuke operates in Rioja Alavesa, the westernmost subregion of Spain's Rioja, where Atlantic influence and cooler temperatures shape wines of precision and structure. The winery's portfolio centers on Tempranillo and Graciano—grapes native to the region that thrive in Alavesa's distinctive terroir. La Condenada Rioja, a Tempranillo and Graciano blend, stands as the flagship expression, joined by El Escolladero, a pure Graciano that showcases the variety's darker fruit and mineral spine. Paso Las Mañas Paraje El Chorro offers a single-vineyard Tempranillo perspective. These wines have been assessed by Wine Advocate and Decanter, reflecting the winery's engagement with serious critical evaluation. Rioja Alavesa is known for wines that balance power with elegance—a character evident in Artuke's approach to both traditional blending and varietal focus.
