Claríto ("the little clear one") is roughly 50-50 Garnacha and Viura. 3,500 kg of Garnacha at 14% abv comes from 80yo bush-vines from the Briones municipality, grown in the foothills between Oullar i and Hormilla. We're in the Najerilla Valley, heading south up into the pebbly chalk/red sand foothills under Sierra de la Demanda. These foothills are the traditional home of Clarete and the field blend vineyard that we've secured was purposefully planted for Clarete.
Claríto is a collaborative project … more
Named 'Pies Negros' - literally, black feet - for the long-standing practice of foot stomping the Tempranillo that goes into this wine, Artuke nods to both the rarity of traditional small-scale winemaking in Rioja, to modernity with a vibrant, fresh and eminently drinkable Rioja.
You'd be hard pressed to find a more charming Rioja at under $30 than this drop from Artuke. 95% Tempranillo with a splash of Viura, this wine is packed with fragrant aromas of fresh violet, pomegranate juice and blackberries. Drink as you would a light Pinot or a nouveau Beaujolais.
Distributor notes "Vibrant red cherry colour, with a medium-high intensity, clean and bright. On the nose, it is fresh and intense, highlighting the aromas of forest fruits that are integrated in a balanced way with oak notes and a spicy touch that adds complexity. On the palate, the wine is tasty, with a soft and pleasant entry that brings freshness. Its passage through the mouth is friendly and balanced, with a long and persistent finish that leaves a nice impression … more

95 points James Suckling - "Aromas of dark plum, raspberry, mocha, mushroom, chocolate, mocha, coconut and cigar box. Full-bodied with ripe, fine tannins and bright acidity. Balanced and supple with a velvety texture. Coffee notes on the long, succulent finish. 95% tempranillo and 5% graciano. Drink or hold. (8/2021)" … more
80% Tempranillo and 20% Garnacha.
"Made, as many wines were in the past, with a combination of Tempranillo from the Rioja Alta sub
region and 20% Garnacha from Tudelilla in the Rioja Oriental, this is a delicious release of Ardanza
that shows no sign of the heat of the 2017 growing season. Aged for three years in American oak, it's
tangy, savoury, layered and complex, with leather and tobacco leaf aromas, wild strawberry and red
cherry fruit and appealing vanilla … more
A labour of love from Telmo Rodriguez, the 2014 was the first of several vintages they vinified that they were willing to release to public. It was clearly worth the wait because within each bottle is some quintessential Rioja ready to draw you in. The vines are located in an amphitheatre near the village of Labastida, mainly Tempranillo with some Graciano, Mazuelo and a smattering of other local varieties. Clay, wild raspberries, lavender and wild herbs waft up from the … more
