Artadi de San Lázaro 2021

A summary from the evaluation by Juan Carlos López de Lacalle of the 2016 vintage The year 2016 had a mild winter with hardly any rainfall. The rains arrived in spring in abundance, ensuring good budding and a remarkable growth of vegetation. Summer was unusually hot and dry, which led to the plants fighting for the subsoil water reserves; the rain eventually arrived during the second week of September, allowing a good finishing of maturation. The result has been wines with a graceful bearing, clean-cut fruit and exciting honesty. Approachable, packed full of natural energy and transparency, they are wines which reflect the year and express with total clarity the philosophy of Juan Carlos López de Lacalle.
