Wines made from Graciano grapes of Rioja Alta
Discover the best wines made with Graciano as a single variety or as a blend of Rioja Alta.
Structured, deep reds with an ink-dark robe, firm tannins and a dense palate of intense blackfruit (blackberry, blackcurrant), black cherry, violet, spices, black pepper, Mediterranean herbs and balsamic notes. Fine ageing potential; adds structure and length to blends. Essential component of great Rioja DOCa and Navarra DO reds, also as an identity single varietal. Native Spanish grape, signature of Riojan finesse.
Western and largest sub-zone of DOCa Rioja, poor limestone soils, continental climate tempered by the Sierra Cantabria. Tempranillo is the signature red king: elegant and fresh with cherry, plum, ripe strawberry, leather, vanilla, tobacco and balsamic notes from long aging in American oak, fine tannins and lively acidity — reference for great Reserva and Gran Reserva. Juicy Garnacha, firm Mazuelo, spicy Graciano. Broad Viura white.
