Variety

100% Graciano

Marked by a dry and notably warm year, the vegetative cycle developed smoothly, with no significant issues, resulting in exceptional grape health. Yields were reduced due to the high temperatures, which, in turn, increased the phenolic concentration of the berries. In the days closest to harvest, heavy storms affected some areas, particularly in Rioja Alta. However, thanks to skilled vineyard management and the light crop load, the vines continued to evolve under optimal conditions.

This Graciano grape comes from two estates. The first is located in Cenicero, in Rioja Alta, on a sun-facing hillside at 440 meters above sea level. The second vineyard lies in Rioja Oriental, near a bend of the Ebro River, at an altitude of 360 meters, with a distinctly more Mediterranean climate.

Elaboration

1

The grapes from each plot ferment separately in small-capacity, truncated cone-shaped tanks to preserve as much aroma as possible.

2

Long macerations are carried out in both tanks, lasting 23 days in full contact with the skins. Malolactic fermentation takes place in underground concrete vats.

2

Color

Striking deep purple-red color, with great intensity and brightness.

Smells

A clear expression of single-varietal Graciano, highlighting black fruit with notes of wood and black licorice. A subtle and elegant wine, with hints of cinnamon, mahogany and tobacco in the background.

Fresh on the palate, with ripe fruit remaining the protagonist over the wood, accompanied by enveloping acidity, creating a harmonious and enjoyable experience.
