Artazu Aging Cellar

Artadi Viñedos & Vinos

Owner Juan Carlos López de la Calle has been surrounded by old vines and great wines since early childhood when he used to accompany
his grandfather during harvest time in Rioja. Dedication to detailed, delicate and hard work is something he learned at an early age, and
these are governing principles for his three award-winning wineries in Rioja, Navarra and Alicante. Artadi’s ideology is that “the value of a
great wine is intimately linked to the land and its people.” The conviction to safeguard this intimate link is what drove Juan Carlos to make
wine in three distinct regions of Spain. Producing wines made from the single most important variety of each appellation, working with
estate-grown fruit and developing a team of viticultural experts that respect the traditions and climate of each region are Bodegas Artadi’s
fundamental keys to success. If asked, Juan Carlos would say the peculiarity of different soils, disparate climates and the inherent excellence of the grape varieties are the genesis of the authenticity of Artadi’s portfolio of wines. Indeed when one looks at Artadi’s contribution to Spanish winemaking, we find wines with character, personality and identity that reflect their roots in natural viticulture.

Rioja Alavesa – The highest elevation in the Rioja region is typically known for producing wines that are lighter and aromatic. ARTADI owns seventy hectares of vineyards, located on soils with wide and diverse geological peculiarities.

ARTAZU - Santa Cruz de Artazu– With this wine, the winemakers have
attempted to reestablish the original Navarra variety and maximize
its potential to produce a great wine. This wine comes from vineyards planted nearly 100 years ago.

Navarra – Artazu established its presence in the historic wine region of Navarra in 1996, where their production area is well defined by both brown-limestone and clay-calcareous soils. The climate in this region is full of contrasts being dry and hot in the summer, and cold and humid in the winter.

A Focus on Grenache– Artazu places their sole focus on this ancient variety, Grenache, as to which they find full of charm and authenticity. Artazu crafts their wines using grapes from old vineyards nearly a century old, as well as from young vines – all made in a modern-style cellar.

El SEQUE - Historic Alicante – Inspired by the historical references and
traces left by the Phoenicians and Romans El Sequé is keenly motivated to create and produce wines with a historical content that is full of authenticity and personality. They embrace the region’s Mediterranean climate, gravelly soil types and expressive Monastrell variety to which they consider all to perfectly define the concept of “terroir”.

Mediterranean Monastrell – Representing 80% of production El Sequé uses Monastrell as their premier grape to produce mature and voluptuous wines characterized by this disparate climate and aromatic freshness with hints of balsam, typical of a Mediterranean climate.
