Artuke is a relatively young winery in Rioja, Spain, making waves with its unique approach to winemaking. The name is a combination of the brothers Arturo and Kike de Miguel Blanco, who own and operate the winery. The winemaking style is characterized by minimal intervention, allowing the fruit to express itself naturally. This includes avoiding excessive oak aging, a common practice in Rioja.

Bodegas y Viñedos Artuke is located in the village of Baños de Ebro in the Rioja Alavesa region of Spain. Run by brothers Arturo and Kike de Miguel Blanco, the winery takes a more modern and terroir-focused approach to winemaking than many of the larger, traditional Rioja houses. The brothers champion a "Burgundian" philosophy, focusing on the character of individual vineyard plots rather than blending for a uniform style. Their wines are often classified by origin rather than by the traditional aging categories of Crianza, Reserva, and Gran Reserva.
