Paso Las Manas is a classic taste of Spanish red, packed with scents of red and black fruits, cigar smoke, dried herbs, and mulled wine spices. It is made from 100% Tempranillo, harvested from a rocky, 3.9-hectare vineyard at an altitude of 730 metres – one of the more extreme sites in the region.
Bodegas Artuke was founded in 1991 by Roberto de Miguel, between the towns of Baños de Ebro and Ábalos, in Rioja. Its name is a portmanteau, taken from the names of its founder’s two sons, Arturo and Kike, who run the winery today. It consists of 22 hectares of vineyards, many of which were once abandoned, before being discovered and preserved by Arturo and Kike.
In the glass, Paso Las Manas is a stunning reddish purple. It envelopes the tongue in flavours of blackberry, plum, and raspberry jam, with an undercurrent of stony minerality, cinnamon, and star anise. The grapes were harvested by hand, and fermented in French oak barrels. It is medium-bodied and fresh in character, with finely-grained tannins and good acidity. It is perfect for pairing with roast chicken, pork, or a tuna steak.

overall i had a positive experience, they have a wide range of wines, some which are hard to find anywhere else - the main reason i still buy from them, plus the discounts are fair and often, but... their codes for the first offer only works at the first offer, which if fine, but then why would you send me the voucher in each package i order, why spam me on the email and every time i log in on the website? this is really bothering me... then their rewards points system is useless, first of all because you only get peanuts even after spending €250 on an order, but even those peanuts will expire if you won't order again soon, which is unfair, to say the least... and lastly, if you get a corked wine, a wine with any deffect or a wine that leaked (my last order contained a bottle of $100 Caymus Cabernet with a leaking cork, which made the wine tasted cooked and flat), they have no procedure put in place for you to replace or return the wine or to get a refund or replacement - none, which is a big no no no for any wine collector... so all in all i give it 3 stars for now
