Artesa Organic Rioja Tinto 2023
Artesa Organic Rioja Tinto is a vibrant, fruit-forward red from DOCa Rioja — crafted from organically grown grapes by Bodegas Ontañón , a 5th-generation family winery led by Raquel and Rubén Ontañón. Aged for 3–6 months in American oak, this is an aromatic, expressive, and beautifully balanced Rioja that combines the benefits of careful oak maturation with an approachable price point. Organically certified. Why You'll Love It Bodegas Ontañón is one of Rioja's most forward-thinking family wineries, combining traditional Rioja winemaking with modern techniques and a genuine commitment to organic viticulture and sustainability. Their estate vineyards near Alfaro cover 200 hectares, with high-altitude plots at 500–600 metres producing mature vines in poor, stony soils — the kind of terroir that naturally limits yields and concentrates flavour. Artesa is the accessible, everyday expression of that philosophy: organic, characterful, and great value. Vineyard & Production Sourced from organically cultivated estate vineyards near Alfaro in Rioja Oriental, with high-altitude plots at 500–600 metres on poor, stony soils. Grapes are fermented in stainless steel and matured for 3–6 months in American oak barrels, ensuring freshness while adding subtle complexity and spice from the oak. Tasting Notes Aromatic on the nose with plum, cherry, smoky herbal notes, and a hint of clove. The palate is complex and juicy — bramble fruit, black pepper, and lifted savoury characters, finishing with elegance and balance. Perfect Pairings Pairs perfectly with casseroles, roasted or grilled red meats, and Manchego cheese. Also a versatile everyday wine for pasta dishes, charcuterie, and social occasions. Grape Variety Tempranillo 100%
