Graciano

2010 Rioja Graciano

The Ijalba Graciano from the renowned Rioja region is an exceptional red wine that showcases the unique characteristics of the Graciano varietal. This vintage exudes a medium-bodied profile, delivering an enticingly vibrant palate that's both expressive and balanced. The acidity is bright and refreshing, contributing to a lively mouthfeel that invites another sip. Rich fruit intensity is prominent, with layers of dark cherry and plum interwoven with subtle hints of spice and earthiness, creating a truly captivating experience. The tannins are well-integrated and provide a firm structure without overpowering the overall elegance of the wine. This Graciano is delightfully dry, making it a versatile choice for food pairings, whether enjoyed alongside grilled meats or rich, savory dishes.

If you want to understand Spain, pour yourself a glass of Rioja. This historic northern region produces some of the country's most famous wines, typically mature, savory reds that go majestically with roast lamb. Rioja's vineyards trace the flow of the Ebro River through a valley protected by the nearby Cantabrian Mountains. Tempranillo, Garnacha and Graciano are the key red grapes, with Viura leading the white grapes. There are three main classifications of red wines: Gran Reserva (aged for five years, at least two in barrel), Reserva (aged for three years, one in barrel), and Crianza (aged for two years, one in barrel). Other wines can be young and unoaked—an increasingly popular style that shows off Rioja's modern face.
