From

Born from a single hectare vineyard planted in 1960, each bottle of La Poza de Ballesteros sings of its storied roots—a bold testament to Artadi’s cherished philosophy: less bureaucracy, more authenticity. With a composition that mirrors the ancient loamy soil beneath the Basque sun, its complexity is a beautiful rebellion against standard Rioja conventions.

A Drink of Bold Pursuits

Crafted with organic rigor and a nod to biodynamic traditions, it’s a bottle with a natural story—crafted meticulously for those who tread above norms.

From its Atlantic-breezy cradle at Elvillar de Álava, the 2019 vintage seduces collectors and casual enthusiasts alike with its poised elegance. Expect nothing less than a symphony of tastes and earthly undertones—craftsmanship at its peak in a bottle.
