General Information
Vine Roots Graciano 2020 comes from a bush-trained Graciano vineyard located in the Rioja Alta subzone. The grapes were harvested by hand, selecting the best bunches. At the winery they were stemmed without pressing. Fermentation took place at a controlled temperature in new 500-litre American oak barrels with racking and tasting at regular intervals to ensure it met the firm’s high quality standards. The wine was then aged for 12 months in new 225-litre American barrels.
This is a cherry-red, deeply pigmented wine with a fruity nose with aromas of leather, earth and a minerally touch. Pepper and high intensity. On the palate, notes of black fruit, medium acidity, medium tannins and a long, lingering finish.
Vine Roots Graciano 2020 (D.O.Ca. Rioja) is a great match for dishes such as chickpea stew or mushroom risotto.
Creators' opinion
De color rojo rubí intenso, presenta una gran intensidad aromática a grosella, mermelada de fresa, pimienta negra y notas balsámicas. En boca encontramos un vino graso, con una acidez media y una gran persistencia gustativa.
The winery
Winery
The creation of Bodegas Corral, over one hundred years ago, was driven by the determination of a true-born Riojan, Don Saturnino Daroca, a grower and winemaker, who began planting the first vineyards in Sojuela, a town near Navarrete.
His daughter married Don Martín Corral, who gave the winery its name and contributed his coat of arms as its emblem, which to this day continues to highlight the family character of the winery. In 1974, they built the new winery in the Riojan town of Navarrete.
It will be in the year 2024 when Bodegas Luzón has the opportunity to take on this historical legacy and bring its winemaking expertise from Jumilla to a region of vinicultural excellence such as Rioja.
The philosophy of Bodegas Corral (D.O.Ca. Rioja) is to craft wines that are characteristic of the region, showcasing the essence of the territory, while always striving to keep fruit as the main protagonist. The winery owns 13 hectares of vineyards and oversees an additional 70 hectares, producing 250,000 bottles per year.
