2020 Graciano - SOLD OUT
Our first Graciano varietal release in 12 years.
Since our first planting of Graciano in 2000, I’ve seen a steady improvement in flavour development and quality of fruit and the final product as the vines have matured.
In Spain, Graciano is primarily found in the northern regions of Rioja, and frequently blended with Tempranillo and Grenache. The large, compact bunches ripen extremely late in the season - later than any other variety in the Swan Valley. It retains higher natural acidity while developing its unique
characteristics.
Deep, bright, ruby in colour and deep with the bouquet showing more complex herbal aromas with a background of dark berries, concentrated fruit and earthy notes unique to this grape variety.
The palate begins soft, but builds to rich, sweet fruit, showing more weight and complexity than any previous vintage. Aromas of mulberry and violets with a hint of spice and leather

Bottle: 750ml
Notes: The introduction of Graciano to this blend has added richness and weight to the palate, though still finishing with the softness we expect from Grenache
Cellaring: Up to 10 years
Winemaker's Notes: For those who enjoy a heavier Grenache
