There is always something magnetic about the nose of this exceptional wine, and the 2013 Viña El Pisón, even though it feels young and primary, developed a myriad of nuances like none of the other bottlings from Artadi. There are flowers, herbs and peppercorns, orange peel, notes of sour cherries, balsamic hints, a minty touch, bay leaf perhaps... The palate shows the strictness of 2013, a little austere, with cold tannins, acidity that makes you salivate and a very long finish, but still quite sharp. There is very good balance and elegance here, and stuffing to slowly develop for a long time in bottle. It's modern and a little oaky, but exceptionally good, and if you have the patience it will turn into a beautiful bottle that will scream RIOJA!!!! 6,600 bottles.<br/><br/>
Producer
Bodegas y Vinedos Artadi
One of Rioja’s best, Artadi produces wines that represent the natural balance of the environment, as well as the personality of their land. Their 85 hectares of vineyards are farmed organically with the use of biodynamic and sustainable practices that preserve the land’s biodiversity. The great wonder behind this estate is Juan Carlos López de Lacalle, who purchased the bodega from the founding cooperative group of growers. Known for their robust fruit-driven style – different from traditional Riojas – their wines have opened the doors for modern Riojan spirit to shine. With soils full of life, the estate offers several fearless bottlings, including their three single-vineyard wines – Valdeginés, La Poza de Ballesteros, El Carretil, and the outstanding family vineyard: El Pisón.
