K&L notes

The Artadi Estate was created in 1985 by the dynamic, visionary winemaker, Juan Carlos Lopez de la Calle. His objective was to seek and nurture the concept that Tempranillo , when cultivated at high altitude, low-cropped and from old vines, produces extraordinarily rich, deep colored, and profound wines. This, coupled with specific barrel treatment (with minor oak American oak influences) produces one of Rioja's most exciting new wines. Artadi is about purity of extracted fruit with almost Burgundian textures: sheer power, complexity and startling finesse. The results have been astounding! These are some of the most exciting of Rioja's new-wave wines.

Lopez Island Vineyards

Puget Sound Siegerrebe 2017

The acid hit me immediately, then subsided into flavors of citrus and lychee, then reoccurred on the finish. I love acidic white wine and this example is just that while maintaining some balance and a bit of complexity. I think it is delightful. I’m amazed any decent wine can be made in the San Juan islands due to the climate here but these guys seem to have given this Alsatian grape a good home. — 6 years ago
