Arizcuren Finca El Foro is a red from Rioja, Spain, made from 60% Garnacha, 30% Mazuelo and 10% Viura, Garnacha Gris and Miguel de Arco. Six varieties share just 0.7 hectares at 600 meters on a slope of the Sierra de Yerga. The grapes are picked by hand at the end of October, given a 2 to 4 day cold maceration, then fermented 15 to 20 days in open stainless steel tanks. The wine ages 18 months in 500 and 225 liter French oak casks. It shows fennel, liquorice, black and red plum and wild strawberry, with lively acidity, silky tannins and an elegant finish.
Javier Arizcuren comes from a family of wine growers in Quel, in La Rioja Baja, and works as an architect. He studied viticulture and oenology at the University of La Rioja and began making wine in 2009 in the family home. In 2011 he took over the family vineyards, and only the best plots go into the project: Garnacha and Mazuelo bush vines aged 40 to 130 years, farmed organically without herbicides, pesticides or synthetic fertilizers.
