Bodegas y Viñedos Artuke

Bodegas y Viñedos Artuke, acclaimed by Luis Gutiérrez as one of the most exciting vignerons in the region, stands out for producing true terroir wines that reflect the character of their birthplace. While Rioja's historic bodegas are renowned for their Gran Reservas, sourced from diverse vineyards and aged for extended periods, a new movement led by small, independent growers like Artuke is gaining attention. Arturo and Kike de Miguel, the brothers behind Artuke, defy Rioja's traditional classification system, focusing instead on expressing the unique terroirs around Baños de Ebro, Ábalos, San Vicente de Sonsierra, and Samaniego. Embracing their family's winemaking history, they employ an Old School approach, organically tending head-pruned vines and aging in large, neutral barrels. Critics like Luis Gutiérrez and Tim Atkin consistently laud Artuke's wines, placing them among Rioja's elite, with Atkin designating them as a First Growth. The de Miguel brothers remain dedicated to preserving Rioja Alavesa traditions while crafting exceptional, terroir-driven wines.
