Artadi El Carretil 2010 is a full-bodied, single-vineyard red wine produced from Tempranillo grapes in the Rioja appellation of Spain. One of the most elegant of Artadi`s single-vineyard bottlings, El Carretil is produced from Tempranillo vines growing on silty, calcareous soils at 500m elevation in Laguardia. The wine is matured for 14 months in new French oak barrels. This vineyard tends to bring out a chalky expression of Tempranillo with a firm acid backbone. "I found the 2010 very ripe, with notes of damsons, black cherries and black spices, while the palate showed more delineation and freshness, coming back with a mixture of red and black fruit flavours. This is also a big, powerful but balanced wine, with fine-grained tannins, and a chalky sensation, which provide some austerity. It is a beautiful wine." Luis Gutiérrez, 2013
