Artefact #1 Tempranillo, Finca Venta de Don Quijote 2022

Place: Toledo, Spain

Grape: Tempranillo

Vibe: Mellow

A cute label + something that actually tastes good on the inside? A combination that's all too rare nowadays, but these Artefact numbers tick both boxes. An almost brandy-esque opening with boozy, jammy plums and cherries plus a cooling hit of menthol and a solid tannin structure make this a punchy, interesting red that's eminently smashable. ABV: 12.5%
