TASTING NOTES

Our 2020 Graciano is a striking expression of this Spanish variety, re imagined in the unique climate of Nagambie Lakes. In the glass, it reveals a deep garnet colour with purple hues, reflecting its concentration and depth. The nose is immediately alluring, with intense aromas of black cherry, dark plum, and blackcurrant, complemented by hints of violet, dried herbs, and a touch of sweet spice. On the palate, this Graciano is bold yet balanced, with firm, finely-grained tannin that give structure and longevity. Juicy black and red fruit flavours blend seamlessly with notes of spice, adding a rustic edge. Firm tannin structure the palate, with juicy black fruits, soft mouthfeel and a lingering  finish. This wine is a fantastic companion to rich meats like lamb, roasted game, or spiced dishes. Drink now or cellar for up to 10 years to experience its full evolution.
