Agramont Graciano 2021 [Dec 97] [Trophy - Best Value]

Decanter World Wine awards 97 points.

Trophy Best Value

Focussed herbal, wild black fruit and tobacco nose. The youthful palate is poised and approachable with a soft texture, high tannins and brisk acidity. It has an intensity of flavour in the mouth and an energetic, impressively long, finish. A very accomplished expression of Graciano. The value here is superb! 97 points.

"For a red for your barbecue burgers, grab Agramont Graciano 2021 which is as scented as a punnet of wild strawberries and raspberries, juicy and silky with a lithe yet firm streak, it’ll handle rubs, relishes and marinades a charm. Delish!" Ollie Smith.

Graciano 100%, Indigenous to the Navarra and Rioja regions, it has traditionally been used to “beef up” the regular blends in these areas, adding deeper colour, structure and concentration, and improving the bouquet significantly.

It ́s unusual to find a single varietal wine made with Graciano such as this, as it ́s an unforgiving cepage that is difficult to manage, yet provides amazing weight of fruit and concentration if handled properly. It has a unique character that will please those who want to move away from the monotony of globalisation from better known international varieties.
