‘Anyone who argues that you need old vines to make a great wine in Rioja, or elsewhere, needs to visit Paso Las Mañas, which was planted in 2013 at an extreme 720 metres in Samaniego. Mountain herb aromas are a prelude to a very lightly wooded, spicy, raspberry and red cherry palate wrapped around a focused, mineral-edged core. 2024-35.’ – Tim Atkin, 2023 Rioja Report, 95/100
‘The 2020s feel very elegant, and the 2020 Paso Las Mañas, which mentions the Paraje El Chorro in Samaniego where the vines are, is no exception. It has a very lively palate that is effervescent with freshness and chalky minerality, leaving a dry sensation that is very tasty, almost salty. It's young-ish Tempranillo that achieved 13.5% alcohol and kept a pH of 3.42, meaning moderate ripeness, a medium body and very good freshness—a constant across the 2020s. 6,000 bottles were filled in January 2022 after 12 months in 3,500-liter foudre. 2022 – 2032.’ – Luis Gutiérrez, Wine Advocate, 95/100

| Producer information | ‘Artuke has seen one of the best progressions in Rioja in the last few years and is one of the finest young family wineries in the region’, wrote the Wine Advocate and according to Tim Atkin ‘Arturo de Miguel makes some of the greatest reds in Spain.’ Brothers Arturo and Kike de Miguel biodynamically farm 30 hectares of vines planted between 1920 and 2013. Their father and ancestors have been farming the land in the northern part of Rioja Alavesa for over a century. Their goal is to take their winery to the next level thus placing emphasis on the terroir, in order to create wines with remarkable purity. |
