El Sequé is a monovarietal of Monastrell from old vineyards cultivated at 600 metres of altitude on quaternary sandy soils with a clayey subsurface.

It is vinified in open stainless steel deposits with cold maceration for 24-48 hours and fermentation for 10-12 days, with two daily stompings and a slight pump-over. It goes through malolactic fermentation and it is aged for 12 months in 500-litre French oak barrels.

El Sequé is a wine where the seduction of the sweetness of the ripe fruit, the silkiness of the saturated tannins and the balsamic freshness of the Mediterranean nature, roundly and seriously come together.

We recommend serving at 16 °C and decanting before consumption. El Sequé is perfect for tapas, platters and meat dishes.

Bodegas Artadi was founded in Laguardia in 1985 as 'Cooperative Cosecheros Alaves' under the leadership of Juan Carlos Lopez de Lacalle. It was an association of a group of growers who wanted to work together on a business project based on the wine wealth of the La Rioja Alavesa region. They wanted to prove that carbonic maceration can also produce great wines, and they succeeded. 

The history of Artadi is linked to the memory and stories of the people who helped to found the winery and make it what it is today. Based on passion and respect for the land and the vineyards.
