About Artuke Finca de los Locos

It was the 1950s and everyone thought he was mad. This was not land for vineyards; yet it did not matter. The grandfather of Arturo and Kike decided to plant vines at Las Escaleras, a plot situated between 520 and 530 metres above sea level, amongst sands, gravels, and limestone soils. According to the locals, this was not the ideal foundation for a vineyard. Many thought he was insane, but few could perceive the potential of these lands where Artuke Finca Los Locos is born.

This audacity, which later proved to be a remarkable success, is what gives its name to this blend of graciano, tempranillo, and viura that undergoes over a year of ageing. Specifically, the grapes of Artuke Finca de Los Locos originate in Baños de Ebro, within the DOCa Rioja, on this plot planted in 1981. Here, everything has been managed with complete respect, from the cultivation of the vines to the harvest, which is conducted manually. Once in the winery, Artuke Finca de los Locos is sorted on a table, cluster by cluster, before being destemmed. At this stage of the production process, all movements are carried out by gravity, ensuring the grapes are in the best possible condition when they reach the stainless steel fermentation tanks. Once fermented, Artuke Finca de los Locos is allowed to macerate very briefly, for 1-2 days, until the time for malolactic fermentation arrives.

Finally, Artuke Finca los Locos will undergo an ageing process of over a year in French oak barrels and foudres. Today, what was once questioned has become a benchmark. Artuke Finca Los Locos serves as the finest reminder that, in wine, as in life, sometimes one must be a little crazy to succeed.
