Tasting Note
As with other vintages, there is a plus of complexity and depth in the 2020 La Condenada, which mentions the Paraje Camino del Ciego from Baños de Ebro where the vineyard that names the wine is located, a 0.75-hectare plot . It's a little shy with faint floral aromas and a note reminiscent of cereals, undeveloped and needing to burn that baby fat with some more time in bottle. But the palate is phenomenal— textured and fine-grained with chalky tannins, fresh and vibrant, clean and precise with some acid berry flavors that make me salivate. This is going to develop nicely in bottle and for a long time. Wine Advocate
What does this wine tast like?
Artuke
Artuke is run by the family of Miguel Blanco, who have been working the land in the Northern part of the Rioja Alavesa for over a century. The wines are rooted firmly in their terroir and the winery philosophy is all about small scale, biodynamic production. With 22 hectares of vines spread over 32 plots; between the hilly villages of Baños de Ebro and Abalos on the upper terrace of the river Ebro in La Rioja Alta, this highly acclaimed winery creates individualistic wines that respect the history of their region and of their family wine tradition. The result is a thoroughly modern style of Rioja that is not heavily extracted or heavily wooded in style.
