1995 | Artadi | Pagos Viejos

The 1995 Pagos Viejos displays an opaque purple color in addition to a superb, pure nose of blackberry and cherry liqueur intertwined with pain grille, smoke, mineral, and anise aromas. Concentrated and rich, this offering represents the essence of the Tempranillo grape.

Producer Information

Artadi is a well-regarded, high-profile wine producer based in the Rioja Alavesa town of Laguardia although famously having left the local Rioja wine body, it produces wines under the Vino de Mesa title. It makes a range of Rioja-style wines albeit with a subregional focus and is perhaps best-known for its single vineyard labels, all made from Tempranillo. The single vineyard labels include El Carretil, La Poza de Ballesteros, Quintanilla, San Lazaro and Valdeginés, as well as the flagship El Pison. The 2004 vintage of El Pison wine received 100 points from American wine critic Robert Parker. Other notable wines include the Pagos Viejos cuvée, the value-level Viñas de Gain and the entry-level Artadi Joven, produced from carbonically macerated Tempranillo and Viura. Artadi also makes a white Viñas de Gain from 100 percent Viura aged in oak as well as a sparkling Cava, also from local Viura. The producer began life in 1985 as a cooperative of 13 growers with well-situated vineyards around Laguardia. The vineyards and winery were purchased in 1992 by fourth-generation local winegrower Juan Carlos López de Lacalle and in the subsequent decades, the wines garnered much international critical and consumer appeal.
