{"product_id":"valenciso-graciano-2019","title":"Valenciso Graciano 2019","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis is a varietal Graciano from Rioja Alta, released only in the vintages when the grape ripens fully.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGraciano accounts for barely two per cent of plantings in La Rioja Alta, valued for perfume, acidity and structure but difficult to ripen in the cooler, Atlantic-influenced north of the region. Valenciso, based at Ollauri, farms several old-vine Graciano parcels around Haro and Ollauri organically, and bottles the variety on its own only when the season allows; this is just the second release. The fruit is fermented naturally in concrete vats and the wine is then aged for twenty-four months in low-impact Russian oak, a tight-grained wood chosen to lend structure without obvious oak flavour. The result shows the dark-fruited, firm and savoury character that Graciano usually contributes in small proportions to a traditional Rioja blend, here without Tempranillo to round it off, with sweet tobacco and balsamic depth alongside the plummy weight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is built to age and will reward five to ten years in bottle. Serve at 16–18°C with grilled beef, braised oxtail or aged Idiazábal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e*Every effort is made to ensure the current vintage is accurate; however, variations can occur.
