A rather special Rioja red made with 100% Graciano. The indigenous variety gives the wine a nose of sour cherry and earthy sweet herbs. Aged in American oak barrels for 15 months, it has a vibrant palate of red cherry, vanilla and assorted sweet spices, lifted by decent acidity and a solid tannin backbone.
