Nocturna

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.

Oxer's base wine, the second wine from all its top vineyards from the limestone and sand around Laguardia. Harvested at peak ripeness. Fermentation with native yeasts in French oak barrels of 600 and 225L and subsequent aging for 12 months in the same barrels, where malolactic fermentation takes place.

Deep ripe plum nose with licorice, eucalyptus, elderberry and some mulberry. Spicy black earth. Ripe, very hedonistic and fully ripe fruit mouth, black cherry, mint, rich fullness with silky tannin. Juicy drinking flow with a ripe tasty gene. A rich, sumptuously delicious full fruit wine, ripe and erotic.
