Tasting Note

Crisp, invigorating dark fruit with a lovely fresh acidity, plummy red fruit and a herbal twist on the finish. Lots of character here for the money and a wine that will drink well on release.

Product Notes

Bodegas Artuke Pies Negros is an exquisite Spanish wine crafted in the heart of Rioja Alavesa's verdant vineyards. Exuding a rich, dark cherry hue, the wine teases your senses with captivating notes of black fruit, spice and a hint of mineral. Balanced acidity meets velvety tannins on the palate, crafting a nuanced narrative of plum, chocolate and tobacco profiles. Aged in French and American oak barrels, Pies Negros carries a subtle touch of vanilla that elevates its complex taste. This smooth, full-bodied red is ideal for those seeking an indulgent treat to complement a hearty meal or cosy evening.
