Viña el Pisón is the iconic wine of Artadi Bodegas y Viñedos and one of Spain’s most celebrated single-vineyard bottlings, representing the pinnacle of the winery’s terroir-driven philosophy. It is made exclusively from Tempranillo grown in the El Pisón vineyard in Laguardia, planted in 1945 and known for its very old vines and naturally low yields.
The site is farmed organically and biodynamically, with a strong focus on soil health and vine balance. Winemaking follows a low-intervention approach, using native yeasts and careful aging in French oak that never masks the character of the vineyard.
Aromatically, the wine shows layers of ripe red and dark cherry, subtle spice, herbal notes, and a distinct mineral edge typical of Rioja Alavesa. On the palate, it is deep, precise, and beautifully layered, with fine, taut tannins and a long, elegant finish.
The style is serious and complex yet never heavy, marked by freshness and remarkable aging potential. Viña el Pisón is widely regarded as one of the benchmark wines of modern Spain and a true statement of Artadi’s commitment to place above all else.
