I tasted the 2020s and 2021s from Artadi. They have been working to understand their soils in the valley, where they have quite a lot of sand in the vineyards.
I also tasted the 2020 Quintanilla, a wine that looked really superb from barrel, floral, aromatic and elegant, with round tannins, fine-boned, balanced and harmonious. This is from a 1.99-hectare plot in Elvillar that was planted in 1951 on limestone and clay soils with a sandstone mother rock at some 75 centimeters from the top. It's very aromatic with notes of cinnamon, a lactic touch and a medium-bodied palate with very fine, abundant and chalky tannins. 2,500 bottles were filled in June 2021.
