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.

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. Enjoying hundreds of miles of sun-kissed coastline and rocky interiors at higher elevations, Spain provides an ideal location for vineyards. Whether it is sparkling cavas from Catalonia, crisp Verdejos from Rueda, sublime Tempranillos from Ribera del Duero or inky Monastrells from Valencia, Spain has many wine styles to explore, all expressing the country's wildly unique terroir.
