It&#8217;s a red grape variety, grown principally in Rioja, where it is used as a blending component. It&#8217;s a high quality grape capable of making ageworthy wines, but it&#8217;s low yielding, and so not so popular with the large factory-like bodegas.<\/p>\n<p>This example is from Navarra, and it&#8217;s deliciously fresh and lively, with good acidity. I love the freshness and structure here, and the oak is present, playing a supporting role only. Great value at \u00a312.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ochoa 8A Serie Mil Gracias Graciano Single Vineyard 2008 Navarra, Spain<\/strong><br \/>\nVery fresh and vibrant, with supple black cherry and blackberry fruit, supported by good acidity, some structure, and a real freshness. There are undertones of herbs, tea leaves and chocolate, plus a bit of supporting oak, but it&#8217;s not at all jammy or over-ripe, with lovely definition and focus. 91\/100 (\u00a311.99 Hennings Wine, UK agent is PLB)<\/p>\n<p>Find this wine with\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.wine-searcher.com\/index.lml?referring_site=WAN\" target=\"_blank\">wine-searcher.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I like Graciano.
