2014 Artadi La Poza de Ballesteros

The La Poza de Ballesteros of Artadi is pure Tempranillo from a vineyard of 3.6 hectares planted in 1960 in the village of Elvillar. The distorted grapes ferment in open wooden tubs and stay in French oak barrels for 14 months. The vines on this terroir can take root deeper, the vines are old and the microclimate is more Mediterranean. The domain is opposite the (Artadi) Valdegines (the two vineyards are separated by a small river). La Poza de Ballesteros is east-facing and gets the afternoon sun which ensures that the grape is ripe sooner. Very intense cherry color. Aroma prima cacao, sweet spices, creamy oak, ripe fruit, chocolate. Powerful, tasty, meaty, creamy, spicy taste. The fine in the glass has a beautiful dark red color. The wine has a beautiful freshness and optimum acidity. We distinguish bay leaf, tabac, black pepper, chocolate. As with all Artadi wines, it is a powerful, slightly meaty wine with a beautiful, almost creamy and spicy, very long finish.
