"This 3,000-case cuvee must be tasted to be believed. It tastes like a $35-50 bottle of wine. This is Juan-Carlos Lopez de la Calle’s (Artadi’s winemaker) project in the northern cool zone of the Navarra viticultural area. Made from 75-year old Grenache vines, and aged in both tank and old wood foudres, this dark ruby/purple-colored effort is a Grenache whore. Sumptuous and opulent, with gorgeously perfumed aromas of strawberries, blackberries, and cherries, tremendous purity of fruit, a medium to full-bodied texture, and a finish that remains light on its feet, it is a Spanish Chateauneuf du Pape. An amazing achievement ... bravo!"

Spain has the largest area under vine of any country and a deep tradition of oak-aged reds. Tempranillo-based wines from Rioja and Ribera del Duero, alongside Priorat's Garnacha and Carinena, anchor its fine-wine reputation.
A warm-climate red giving generous, high-alcohol wines of red fruit and spice. It anchors southern Rhone blends and old-vine wines in Spain and Australia.
