2019 Orben Rioja
Tasting Notes
Intense garnet colour. Very interesting on the nose, with fine aromas of toasty oak, pencil lead, leather, black cherry and black berry. Very fleshy on the mouth, with a strong fruity flavour, well structured and wide open. It has an impeccable balance and a persistent aftertaste.
100% Tempranillo
The Top 100 ranking by Wine Spectator ranks Orben as the best Spanish wine of the year, and places it among the 15 most highly rated wines in the world.
About Bodegas Orben
Gonzalo Antón, well-known hotelier and owner of the Zaldiaran Restaurant, a gastronomic reference in the Basque Country, decided, at the age of 37, to found Bodegas Izadi and unite his two passions: wine and gastronomy.
Izadi in Villabuena de Álava opens to the public, becoming one of the first wineries with its own restaurant, hotel, and guided tours. Different events of the pioneering Vitoria Signature Cuisine Congress will be held there.
The Orben project in Rioja brings an end to a period of expansion during which Finca Villacreces (2003) and Vetus (2004) became part of the group. As a result, Artevino now has four wineries, operating in Rioja, Ribera, and Toro
