James Suckling 94
"Intense and focused nose with ripe blackberries, dark strawberries, iron, wild herbs and spices. Pretty tense and broad on the palate with a plethora of fresh, vertical tannins. Vibrant and fruit expressive. Tempranillo. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold."

Wine Advocate 92
"The young red 2019 Viñas de Gaín was produced with Tempranillo grapes from different vineyards in Laguardia and Elvillar at 450 to 700 meters in altitude, and it fermented in oak and stainless steel vats followed by malolactic in barrel and an élevage in barrel for nine months. They aimed for a fresh, fruit-driven and juicy red that comes from a low-yielding year, so the wine is concentrated but keeps the approachable style. It has nice balance. In warmer and riper years, they do shorter macerations at lower temperature and a short élevage to keep the aromatic and fruit-driven character, avoiding heavy wines. This is always a very good value within the Artadi range. 90,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in September 2020."

The Estate
Located in the heart of lava, Artadi owns 83 hectares of vineyards planted in soils with a wide geological diversity.
