Product Description
Details
The wine Artadi Viñas de Gaín is the entry-level Spanish red wine of Bodegas Artadi, one of Rioja Alavesa's most famed producers.
This Crianza red wine is sourced from organically grown Tempranillo vineyards planted at altitudes between 450 and 700 metres above sea level, in an area with a Continental climate nuanced by some Mediterranean influence. The main variety is complemented with a smidgen (less than 5%) of the white variety Viura.
After undergoing a cold pre-fermentation maceration for 24 to 48 hours, the grapes were fermented for 10-12 days in open wooden vats with periodic pump-overs. Then the red wine Artadi Viñas de Gaín 2021 completed the malolactic fermentation in 500 and 600-litre oak barrels and was aged for 12 months.
Finally, this red wine from La Rioja Alavesa was kept for some time in the cellar before its commercial release.
