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.

Rich, deep black cassis, blackberry and mulberry nose with a hint of rum. High ripeness, rich sweet licorice and lots of herbs and violets. The mouth is meltingly delicious and erotically luscious. Rich sweet black cherry with sweet licorice and mulberry, very ripe blackcurrant and a salty-honey long finish with a woolly shiver.

The label in reference to the revolutionary priest Matalaz, who was for the people and against the nobles and then the French army. Decapitated by the authorities.
