General Information
Orben Chocolate Nº3 is the white wine from Bodegas Orben, the most avant-garde and modern Rioja project of the Grupo Artevino. The firm, created in 2005, has its main asset in a selection of micro-plots located between Villabuena and Laguardia, in one of the best areas of Rioja Alavesa.
With viura and malvasía grapes (40%), 30% of garnacha blanca and 30% of maturana blanca from these plots, the innovative Chocolate Nº3 was produced. For its design, Bodegas Orben carried out a manual harvest of the fruits with a selection table for bunches, which were then subjected to a vinification guided by detail. The fermentation and aging of the wine took place in different containers, from concrete eggs to oak barrels of different capacities, resulting in a white wine with a fine floral nose and good structure on the palate.
