General Information
Orben 2022 has burst onto the scene with the strength of a wine destined to make history. It comes from a careful selection of micro-plots of Tempranillo planted in the middle of the last century, a vinicultural heritage that very few firms can boast of working with. Its inclusion in the Thyssen Selection – exclusive to Vinoselección customers – makes it an object of desire for anyone seeking unique wines with character and an identity deeply linked to their origin.
The winery behind it, Orben, belongs to the prestigious Artevino group and has been key to the qualitative transformation of Rioja Alavesa. Based in Laguardia, its team champions a clear philosophy: to produce highly expressive wines from old vineyards and hand-picked grapes with minimal but precise intervention. Their work has placed the winery among the most respected in the region, thanks to wines that combine depth, elegance and an unmistakable personality.
All this makes Orben 2022 a must-have wine for anyone seeking quality, exclusivity and authenticity. Its inclusion in the Thyssen Selection, with a label inspired by a painting by Piet Mondrian, makes it a unique piece that you can only buy from Vinoselección. It's perfect for pairing with red meats, game dishes, spicy stews or mature cheeses, and boasts outstanding ratings from critics (92 points from Robert Parker and 94 from the Peñín guide). This is an exceptional opportunity to enjoy one of the great reds of Rioja Alavesa.
Tasting notes
Nose
Crisp, ripe fruit on the palate. Ageing in French oak adds structure, breadth and impeccable balance.
Mouth
Its meaty texture, natural freshness and aromatic complexity, with notes of black fruit, fine spices and a mineral background, make it an enticing, long and deeply nuanced red wine.
The winery
Part of the prestigious Artevino wine group, created almost a decade ago to bring together wineries of unquestionable quality, such as Izadi or Villacreces, Orben is considered the most luxurious winery of the firm. A winemaking house located in the most privileged area of La Rioja Alavesa, Laguardia, it features a modern winery with an L-shaped layout, perfectly integrated into the surroundings and highly functional.
