"Cherry-red in colour with some more russet tones. On the nose, there are notes of fresh spice with rich, ripe forest fruit aromas, which are underpinned by a smooth and toasty oakiness that has been imparted by the oak barrels. In the mouth, the wine is silken in texture, round and well-structured. The tannins are soft and well balanced with the acidity. The aftertaste is long and pleasant. 50% grenache and 50% cabernet sauvignon."

--------THE PRODUCER--------

Artiga Fustel

Artiga was founded in Spain’s Vilafranca del Penedès in 2002, by an international team of young, but highly experienced wine professionals, headed by Martí Quer. The desire to breathe a fresh lease of life into the production and marketing of Spain’s greatest natural resource sees the Artiga team assume a New-World approach to consumer-focus and simplicity, in developing high-value, modern Spanish wines.

--------THE GRAPE--------

Tempranillo

Tempranillo is one of the most important grape varietals in all of Spain where you might also know it as Tinto Fino - like it is in Portugal. Most notably it is the leading grape of Rioja's red blend where it was traditionally quite an oaky and spicy red wine. In Ribera del Duero, it arguably, comes into its own as it doesn't see as much oak so that you can truly get to see its lively red fruit flavours. You will also find Tempranillo across Portugal's vineyards perhaps most notably in the Douro Valley where it is a key member of the Port blend.

--------THE REGION--------

Spain

The spicy and savoury reds of Rioja to the refreshing and zesty sparkling wines of Cava or the nutty fortified wines of Sherry, there are many wines to explore in Spain.
