Artadi Carretil

Located in the heart of Rioja Alavesa, Artadi has established itself as a benchmark in Spanish viticulture under the guidance of Juan Carlos López de Lacalle. Since its inception in 1985, the estate has moved beyond regional conventions to focus on the pure expression of its unique terroir. The El Carretil vineyard, characterized by its distinctive limestone and clay soils, produces wines of immense precision, where the inherent power of the Tempranillo grape is refined by a sophisticated mineral edge.

The style of the wines from the Carretil parcel is defined by a rare aromatic depth and a silky, seamless texture. These bottlings represent the culmination of meticulous viticultural practices and refined winemaking that honors the fruit's true character. Every vintage displays a compelling evolutionary complexity, striking an ideal balance between ripeness, freshness, and the structured tannins required for exceptional long-term cellaring.

GVBSC is pleased to offer the 2017 vintage of this prestigious cuvée. This wine is particularly sought after due to its limited availability on the open market. The bottles featured here offer collectors access to a singular expression of Artadi, rarely found through standard channels. It is a unique opportunity to secure a true centerpiece of the Rioja region, held in our specialized cellars to ensure the highest standards of provenance and condition for the discerning enthusiast.
