$31.00
Orben is Artevino's boutique project. A rediscovery of Rioja through micro-plots of old vineyards planted in the highest areas of Rioja Alavesa, in the breath-taking setting of Laguardia. Climatic, geographical, and varietal factors all come together to produce small productions of very personal wines
Sourced from over 70 tiny parcels of old-vine, head-pruned Tempranillo with a small percentage of Graciano, Orben is a modern-styled Rioja originating from high-elevation vineyards outside Laguardia on sandy, limestone soils. Harvested by hand, destemmed and fermented in stainless steel tanks, it is aged for 15 months in new French oak barrels.
"Plums, dried herbs, tea leaves, cloves and baking spices on the nose. It’s full-bodied with chewy tannins. Chalky and structured with a core of black fruit at the center palate. Firm finish at this stage. A little bottle age will make it even better." - 93 Points, James Suckling
