Variedad Graciano

2000 Rioja Graciano

The Contino Variedad Graciano from the esteemed Rioja region captivates the senses with its deep red hue, hinting at the richness within. This wine, crafted from grapes of the Graciano varietal, showcases a full-bodied profile that envelops the palate in layers of complexity. It boasts a high acidity that adds brightness and liveliness, a delightful contrast to its prominent fruit intensity, which features luscious notes of dark berries and ripe plums. The tannins are notable, providing structure and depth, making this wine as approachable as it is refined. The vintage of 2000 lends further maturity and elegance, resulting in a well-balanced expression that is dry yet remarkably smooth, inviting sips that linger delightfully on the finish.

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.
