Finca de los Locos - great name - is a 2.8-hectare vineyard that was planted close to the bodega in 1981 on chalk and gravel soils. A blend of Tempranillo, 20% Graciano and 5% Viura, this is scented, focused and pithy, with aromas of thyme and lavender, pomegranate and redcurrant fruit and the sculpted tannins that are a feature of Arturo de Miguel's winemaking. Drinking range: 2025 - 2032 Rating: 94 Tim Atkin MW, www.timatkin.com (Feb 2024)

Finca de Los Locos is a single, 2.8 hectare parcel in Baños Ebro, planted in 1981 with bush vines of Tempranillo, 20% Graciano and 2% Viura. There is lots of limestone in this sandy vineyard which leaves the wine feeling brighter and more pure than the others - yet with some gentle brood too. Fine lines yet with serious intent.L&S (Oct 2023)
Artuke
These wines from Rioja are rooted firmly in their terroir. Artuke is all about small scale, biodynamic production: twenty two hectares of vines spread over thirty two plots between the stunning, hilly villages of Baños de Ebro and Abalos on the upper terrace of the river Ebro in La Rioja Alta, Northern Spain. Artuke is run by the family of Miguel Blanco, who have been working the land in this Northern part of Rioja Alavesa for over a century. Now, the helm is taken by Miguel's two sons Arturo and Kike de Miguel which as you might guess, is where the name 'Artuke' is derived from. The aim of the brothers has been this: To create a new and individual wine which still respects the history of the wine region and of their family wine tradition. The result: A thoroughly modern style of Rioja, but not heavily extracted or heavily wooded in style.
