100% Graciano
2016. Very good
The grapes that went into our Viña Monty Graciano Reserva wine evolved well throughout the entire growth cycle. The vintage stood out for the great balance between the acidity and alcohol, its aromatic qualities and excellent phenolic ripeness, which gives the wine great depth and persistence.
Rioja Alta and Rioja Oriental
This Graciano wine brings together grapes from two vineyards in Rioja Alta and Rioja Oriental. The one in Rioja Alta is in Cenicero, at 440 meters altitude and has chalky soil. The other vineyard is in Rioja Oriental, near a bend in the Ebro River, at 360 meters altitude, where the climate is much more Mediterranean as compared to the Rioja Alta, and the soils contain a lot more clay.

The late-budding and late-ripening Graciano is, in our warming times, a variety of increasing significance in Rioja, so we shouldn’t be surprised that a pure-Graciano Rioja emerged for the first time in our Best In Show selection this year. No youngster, though: this 2016 Reserva wine shows just how well this sometimes forbidding variety can perform in Rioja, given a suitable site and some age. In the glass, you’d guess that the wine was at least five years younger than it is: it’s still an opaque black-red. The aromas are pure and fresh, reminiscent as much of plants as of fruits, while the only palpable sweetness comes from the wine’s 28 months in oak. On the palate, you’ll find the wine firm and almost stern, with ample tannin and a fresh fruit core reminiscent of blueberries and damsons; there’s some root spice, too. Definitely a food choice, showing Rioja’s terroir in an unusual and dramatic light
