Rioja Tempranillo, Graciano

This exquisite blend of Tempranillo and Graciano captures the essence of its terroir with remarkable elegance. The wine offers a full-bodied experience, boasting a vibrant acidity that enlivens the palate. Rich, dark fruit flavors of plum and blackcurrant are seamlessly intertwined with subtle hints of vanilla and warm spices, a nod to its aging in oak barrels.

This wine is not only a testament to the traditional craftsmanship of Rioja but also an award-winning example that showcases the region's ability to produce outstanding, timeless reds.

While its reputation as a serious wine destination was eclipsed by France and Italy for many years, ignoring Spain today means missing out on some of the world's most exciting wines.
