Vintage

It was a shorter vintage than usual in terms of quantity, but of a very high level of quality. Quantity wise, a 25-30% decrease in yield compared to a normal year's harvest. Great concentration of colour and grade that will allow keeping back wines with great longevity and with lots of fruit. Very favourable year for the cultivation of the vine, with two shocks at the beginning and end of the cycle. It was a vintage that accumulated an advance of about 10 days compared to a normal year. The low production, the favourable climate during most of the year, the morphology of grains and clusters and the good work of the winemakers resulted in very high quality wines.

Winemaking

Upon entering the bodega, the bunches are carefully selected before being de-stemmed so the individual berries can be sorted based on their weight. The two varieties are processed and aged separately to preserve the fruit of the Tempranillo and enhance the complexity of the Graciano with its spicy characteristics. The fermentation of the Tempranillo is carried out in concrete deposits. The Graciano ferments in french oak barrels.

Tasting notes

Colour

Cherry-red with a high robe.

Nose

Highly intense aromas with a pronounced content of fruit over a delicate background of oak. Lactic nuances and spicy touches.

Mouth

Tasty and expressive with smooth, fresh tannins and balanced acidity. On the finish, it is long with reminiscences of red and black fruit. Fresh, lively and persistent.

Pairing

Mild curries, white meats in sauce, pasta with white and red sauces, grilled mushrooms, foie-gras and salmon.
