Bodegas y Viñedos Artazu
Bodegas y Viñedos Artadi is a Spanish winery group whose vineyards are in Alicante (Valencia), in the northeastern region of Navarre and in Álava and Gipuzkoa in the Basque Country. In 1985, a group of winegrowers founded this private cooperative project, which, with one tiny exception, only produces single-grape-variety wines.
Today it is run by a nature-loving family in cooperation with the top winemaker Juan Carlos López de Lacalle, maintaining a high standard of quality and pursuing a consistent terroir philosophy. His passion is the Garnacha grape variety. Since 2011, the vineyards have been cultivated according to biodynamic guidelines. Juan Carlos' motto is "a sense for nature and tireless work will lead us to success".
Bodega Artazu is located in the medieval wine-growing town of Artazu (Valdizarbe) in northern Navarre, where the Artadi Group has been growing wine since 1996. The vineyards are located around Artazu and in San Martín de Unx at a slightly cooler altitude of up to 600 metres. Garnacha vines have been growing there for over 60 years. The perfect conditions for aromatically dense wines that reflect their unique terroir. Juan Carlos is a master at vinifying individual plots and developing their terroir character.

Navarre is in the northeast of Spain, at the gates of the city of Pamplona. A section of the Camino de Santiago leads straight through Pamplona. The city is also widely known for its bullfights and the famous running of the bulls.
The predominant soils consist of dark lime, alternating with limey clay and sandy clay soils. The climate is markedly continental but is also influenced by the Atlantic Ocean and the foothills of the Pyrenees.
The wines are produced either from the rare white Garnacha Blanca or from red Garnacha grapes. The rosados from Navarre are still in a class of their own. Behold their special bright pink for yourself. The house style may be modern, but it maintains a profound connection to its natural environment.
