SCALE Dry

 

It is a blend of Tempranillo (95%) and Viura (5%) from a mix of their vines planted between 1902 and 2005.

Artuke is produced by the carbonic maceration method - most associated with Beaujolais and yet just as traditional, but rarely seen outside of Rioja. The style, cosecheros, is literally what the locals in the Basque zone of Rioja (Alavesa) are drinking while waiting for their more structured Riojas to age.
