Viñas de Gain is Artadi's foundational village-level red, sourced from organically farmed Tempranillo vineyards aged 20-30 years around Laguardia, the Sierra de Toloño and the Sonsierra. Hand-harvested and vinified in open-top steel vats before 12 months' ageing in French oak, it captures Artadi's terroir-driven philosophy at an accessible level — fresh, fruit-driven and juicy, with velvety, sweet tannins. Like all Artadi wines it is released outside the DOCa Rioja classification, labelled simply as Vino de España.
Proof that Artadi's terroir obsession scales down without losing its soul — this is what 'village wine' should taste like everywhere.
