Varietales Graciano Rioja DOCa - Báron de Ley

The powerful Varietales Graciano Rioja from the pen of Báron de Ley shines in the glass with dense ruby red. This varietal Spanish wine presents wonderfully expressive notes of black currants, sour cherries and raspberries in the glass. These are joined by hints of vanilla.

On the palate, the Varietales Graciano Rioja from Báron de Ley starts out wonderfully dry, grippy and aromatic. Some wines are dry on the label, others really are. This red wine is one of the latter, having been vinified with only 2.2 grams of residual sugar. On the palate, the texture of this punchy red wine is wonderfully silky. Due to the balanced fruit acidity, the Varietales Graciano Rioja flatters with a soft palate feeling, without lacking juicy liveliness at the same time. In the finish, this youthful wine from the wine-growing region of La Rioja finally inspires with considerable length. Once again, hints of black currant and sour cherry appear.
