The purple-colored and young-looking 2022 Graciano Grano A Grano is superb, showing how the variety can take well the warm years and ripen thoroughly without losing freshness. The parameters looked quite different this year: it achieved 14.5% alcohol and kept a pH of 3.57 with 5.26 grams of acidity, reflecting more ripeness and more civilized acidity, coming through as balanced but a different balance from previous years, with the variety's natural spiciness (freshly crushed black peppercorns), a floral character and a textured mouthfeel, with abundant fine tannins and a dry and chalky finish. He has to find grapes in five different vineyards in San Vicente de la Sonsierra, Ábalos and Labastida, ranging between 15 and 70 years of age, and hand-destem the grapes, which fermented in 1,200-liter stainless steel vats with indigenous yeasts, then the wine matured in a 1,100-liter oak vat and 225-liter French oak barrels for 18 months. 2,010 bottles produced.
A deep nose with fresh but opulent dark fruit, showing black cherries and spices. The volume, fine-grained tannins and exceptional length are the highlight of this red. Bright acidity and alluring fruit. 60% garnacha tinta and 40% graciano. Drink or hold.
Hand destemmed like all of the Grano a Grano range – I’ve seen the process at work – this is a serious, compact age-worthy cuvée of Garnacha and 40% Graciano with the bodega’s customary 100% new oak. Made with both eyes on the future, it has an inky colour and a palate to match, all blackberry, damson and plum skin and a spine of acidity and chewy tannins. 2027-35.
