 TASTINGS
New Tasting Coming Soon Artiga Fustel was founded in Spain’s Vilafranca del Penedès in 2002, by an international team of young, but highly-experienced wine professionals, headed by Mr. Martí Quer. The desire to breathe a fresh lease of life into the production and marketing of Spain’s greatest natural resource sees the Artiga Fustel team assume a New-World approach to consumer-focus and simplicity, in developing high-value, modern Spanish wines. As a young and relatively small company, Artiga Fustel benefits from the flexibility to adapt swiftly to ever-changing market requirements and from the fact that our egos will never out-grow our dedication to customer satisfaction and innovation.Martí has been involved in sourcing Spanish wines ever since returning to his native Vilafranca in 1995, following several years cutting his teeth as head sommelier of New York’s highly-acclaimed “Aureole” restaurant. The close partnerships he fostered with some of Spain’s most renowned wine-makers have enabled Artiga Fustel to source the very best of the country’s indigenous grapes, producing wines of the highest quality in state-of-the-art facilities, all of which boast the latest ISO certificate for quality excellence. For Artiga Fustel, the wine-making process begins long before the grapes are picked, with the undertaking of in-depth and highly-focussed research into consumer profiles and trends within each individual target market. This dedication to exceeding customers’ expectations is highlighted in the presentation of the company’s wines, each of which offers a unique approach to filling the gaps left by some of Spain’s more traditional wine-makers. In such a way, the wines propose an attractive, elegant and instantly-recognisable package that will stand out from the crowd and go some way towards de-mystifying what can be an overwhelming category for some of wine’s new-comers.

Ermita de San Lorenzo Gran Reserva 2004
From the CLASSIC 2004 vintage. Where else could you find such a grand, mellow, complex 9 year old, oak aged red at this price? It’s made by our old friend Pamela Geddes (who also makes our bestselling Monasterio de Santa Cruz) at the 500 year old Bodegas Ruberte. 60% of the wine is Garnacha from vines planted in 1958. They’re not as prolific these days but the intensity of flavour in the grapes is immense! The balance is Cabernet Sauvignon, which adds classic cassis character and structure to the juicier Garnacha. A rich and fragrant Spanish classic to enjoy with succulent lamb dishes.  View Full Details
