The Artadi vineyard<\/strong> takes up a sprawling 83 hectares. The chalky, limestone soil is the ideal match for the tempranillo grape, which helps the vines to grow well, but as there is also clay in the soil, the vines do not suffer from conditions like \u2018chlorosis\u2019. Overall, there are just enough nutrients for the vines to survive, whilst stressing the vines enough to create delicious, robust fruit. <\/span><\/p>\nAlso, Artadi is situated in a mountainous region. As a result, the vines have cool nights which allow the grapes to ripen without losing acidity or fresh fruit aromas.<\/span><\/p>\nThe vineyard benefits from a reasonable amount of rainfall. There is enough rain for the vines to create the sugars needed for aromas and tannins, and there isn\u2019t such a deluge of water that sugars in the grapes are diluted. In a good year, the wines will be very characterful. However being not too far from the coast means the vineyard is in a marginal location for growing consistently good grapes, and yearly fluctuations in rain can be bad for the wine. Yet 2010 was one of the good years. (Of course it was a good year – Spain won the World Cup).<\/span><\/p>\nFrom our side we would like to congratulate Artadi in general, and especially Juan Carlos, for this excellent work.<\/span><\/p>\nIf you want to know more about the red wines of Spain, you can download our free red wine guide:<\/p>\n
