Varietales Graciano

A graceful wine, a grape that reflects character and finesse

Varieties

Graciano

Vineyard

Graciano grapes from the Monastery's estate surrounding the winery. Alluvial calcareous soils and Mediterranean climate are ideal to grow this indigenous and marginally used grape.

Vinification and ageing

Thanks to the proximity of the vineyard to the winery, the harvest and selection of this rara avis grape is done with extra care before vinification in stainless steel vats and 12 months ageing in American-oak barrels.

icono ojo Colour

Bright cherry-red colour with good depth and bluish hues at the rim.

icono narizAroma

One distinctive feature of the Graciano is its distinct aroma, stronger than other Rioja varieties. The aromas in this wine are therefore intense redcurrant, red-berry fruit and pink pepper with subtle vanilla and mineral hints.

icono bocaPalate

Full-bodied wine with intense flavours, well-integrated tannins showing the red-berry fruit found on the nose. Long, refreshing finish with excellent balance and harmony.

Food pairing

The intense of aroma of this wine is a perfect ally of iberian ham and a cheese and cold cuts platter, duck magret, lamb and stews.
