Robert Parker is adamant! For him, Bodega Artadi produces "one of the greatest wines in Spain and in the world". In fact, it is one of the very few bodegas to have been awarded the maximum score of 100/100 several times.

This true Spanish institution produces some of the most highly-rated wines in the world, with unrivaled race and finesse. This legendary quality is the work of one of Spain's most brilliant and creative visionaries: Juan Carlos Lopez de Lacalle.
