Description
In a nutshell:
A firm and spicy Rioja made solely from the less widely seen Graciano grape.
The lowdown:
Graciano is quite a low yielding grape which is why it lost favour with many growers, but it's good to see some producers making wine with it because it has plenty to offer. Six months spent in oak mellows the crunchy fruitiness nicely and adds an extra layer of complexity. There's plenty of freshness to the dark fruits here with hints of vanilla and oak, some brooding meaty touches and firm tannins.
When to drink:
This is a great wine to go with grilled red meat and offers an interestingly different slant on many other Riojas.
Suitable for Vegans
