Kalamity

Oxer Bastegieta is a very talented Basque wine grower and oenologist and the distinguishing mark on his wines is the attachment to the land, the use of typical varieties, freshness and elegance. Oxer Bastegieta has pinned his hopes primarily on Laguardia as the centre of a new approach to Rioja wines, without leaving behind his roots in the world of the Txakoli appellation of his origin in the historical territory of Vizcaya, included in the Autonomous Community of the Basque Country. Oxer invests each cent earned in buying old plots. Artillero vineyard is one of these beauties: 98 years old, located in Elvillar (La Rioja Alavesa) at 600 metres altitude from which grapes are sourced for Kalamity. 

The eye-catching name and label express Oxer’s love for Shakespeare. Vineyards located in Cárdenas (Rioja Alta) at 580 metres altitude and Artillero located in Elvillar (La Rioja Alavesa) at 600 metres altitude , dating back to 1900's with iron-rich clay soils.

Character Kalamity shows an array of aromas, from dark berry fruit and violets to spicy, peppery flavors. These aromas will develop into even more complexity in the coming years. A wine with enormous length and minerality.
