Artuke, Rioja, Spain 2022

A chillable Rioja? Yes indeed. Artuke’s semi-carbonic Tempranillo (co-fermented with 5% Viura) is pure joy in a glass, with palate-cleansing freshness, cheeky elegance and subtle rusticity. Slightly chilled it shows lively zestiness (blood orange and pink grapefruit). Delicious chalky tannins frame the pomegranate, wild strawberry and red apple peel flavours.
