Artadi stands as one of the most iconic names in Spanish winemaking, based in Laguardia at the heart of Rioja Alavesa. Founded in 1985 and taken over in 1992 by Juan Carlos López de Lacalle, the estate cultivates 56 hectares of certified organic vineyards since 2016, focused on the pure expression of Tempranillo. Since 2015, Artadi left the Rioja appellation to dedicate itself exclusively to single-vineyard wines, asserting its vision of terroir. The celebrated Viña El Pisón, planted in 1945, achieved Robert Parker's perfect score of 100 points for the 2004 vintage.

L'histoire du domaine

The history of Artadi begins in 1985 in the village of Laguardia, Rioja Alavesa, when a group of thirteen growers united by a common vision founded a cooperative dedicated to crafting wines that authentically reflected their terroir. The project, named Cosecheros Alaveses, produced traditional carbonic maceration wines — a method inherited from their ancestors. In 1992, Juan Carlos López de Lacalle, a fourth-generation local winegrower, purchased the cooperative and initiated a radical transformation: progressive abandonment of traditional aging categories (Crianza, Reserva, Gran Reserva) in favour of an approach centred on individual plots and their geological singularity. From the 1991 vintage, the emblematic Viña El Pisón plot — planted in 1945 by his grandfather Jenaro San Pedro — was vinified separately. International acclaim arrived in 2004 when this wine achieved 100 points from Robert Parker. In December 2015, Artadi made the bold decision to leave the DOCa Rioja, refusing a system that values oak over soil and prohibits mentioning vineyard names on labels. Since then, the wines are marketed as "Álava, España" with Bureau Veritas certification, freeing the estate to fully express its terroir philosophy.

Le terroir

The Artadi vineyards extend over 56 hectares distributed between the villages of Laguardia and Elvillar de Álava, at the foot of the Sierra de Cantabria, in the Rioja Alavesa sub-region. This area benefits from the highest elevations in Rioja and remarkable geological diversity: clay-limestone soils, gravel, ferrous sands scattered with pebbles, each plot expressing a unique pedological profile. The climate, under Atlantic influence tempered by mountain protection, combines generous sunshine with nocturnal freshness — ideal conditions for slow, complex ripening of Tempranillo. Since 2002, Artadi has practised organic and biodynamic viticulture, certified organic in 2016: complete absence of fertilizers and synthetic chemicals, spontaneous plant cover between rows to encourage biodiversity and deep rooting, soil work without aggressive mechanical ploughing to preserve microbial life. In certain parcels such as El Pisón, fruit trees and roses are planted as early warning systems against pests. This demanding approach, costly in labour and attention, pursues one objective: grapes of exceptional purity and vitality, faithful reflections of their natural environment.

Les vins

The Artadi range is structured around Tempranillo, the sole red variety cultivated on the estate, expressed through a clear hierarchy from regional expression to the highest single-vineyard peaks. At entry level, Artadi Tradición perpetuates the house's historic carbonic maceration. Viñas de Gaín faithfully and accessibly reflects the Laguardia landscape, with vibrant red fruit, characteristic firmness and volume. But it is in the single-vineyard wines that Artadi reveals its full singularity: Valdeginés (7 hectares, east-facing), La Poza de Ballesteros (3.6 hectares, west-facing, on sandy soils), El Carretil (5.3 hectares, southwest), Quintanilla (1.1 hectare), San Lázaro (1.6 hectares) and La Hoya (3.6 hectares, planted 1965), each wine bearing the name and soul of its origin plot. At the summit stands Viña El Pisón, 2.4 hectares planted in 1945 at 480 metres elevation on calcareous clay and stones, a natural amphitheatre that earned the estate 100 Parker points in 2004. The Artadi style favours precision, fruit purity, tannin finesse and aging potential, with short élevage in French and Austrian oak — wood as discreet frame, never as dominant signature.

Le vigneron

Juan Carlos López de Lacalle is the visionary who transformed a local cooperative into one of the world's leading Spanish wine estates. A fourth-generation winegrower from Laguardia, trained from childhood alongside his grandfather during harvests, he developed early a passion for wine and a deep conviction: great wines are born in the vineyards, not in the cellars. A respected and influential personality in the wine world, he embodies that rare figure of the philosopher-winemaker who refuses compromise and charts his own course, even leaving the Rioja appellation in 2015 to defend his vision of terroir. Today, succession is assured: his son Carlos, recognized in 2025 by Tim Atkin as "Rioja Winemaker of the Year," and his daughters Patricia and Marian took over management of the estate in 2023 alongside their father. Carlos, who spent twelve years abroad between the United States, France and England, notably manages Artadi USA Imports from New York, bringing international perspective while remaining faithful to the soul of Laguardia. Patricia embodies continuity and communication of the family philosophy. Together, this united family pursues the work begun forty years ago with an unwavering obsession: that each wine be an authentic messenger of its land.
