This Graciano from Finca Manzanos hand harvests grapes from vineyards of clay-limestone soil at 400m above sea level. Controlled temperature fermentation in stainless steel and 3 weeks of maceration is followed by 6 months in 70% French and 30% American new oak barrels.
This creates a wine of cherry red colour with aromas of black fruit, ripe red fruit and subtle vanilla. Palate shows a perfect balance between freshness and acidity, with integrated, mellow tannins. Try with spicy sausage such as chorizo, lamb or hearty stews.
Finca Manzanos began small in 1890 and has remained a family-run business ever since. Now in its 5th generation, its Bodegas Manzanos sits at the heart of their Rioja-Oriental (formerly Baja) wine production, representing over a century of wine expertise in a renewed, accessible way. Headed by Victor Manzanos and winemaker Borja, they also hold vineyards in Navarra with numerous old vine plots to bring distinct character.
Suitable for Vegetarians and Vegans.
