Graciano is known for producing very low yields, but is prized for its rich black skin and ability to add concentrated aroma to any blend. Graciano grapes will be found in Rioja and Navarra, usually grown with Tempranillo and Garnacha to produce a Rioja blends. Graciano crops are susceptible to mildew, which deters commercial wineries from planting. However, small regional wineries in Rioja know the advantages of having Graciano, as only a small amount is needed in a blend to taste the effects. Graciano gives a dark and concentrated juice with notes of licorice and spice. The high acidity and medium tannin creates an excellent partner to Tempranillo. Graciano is often compared to the Petit Verdot of Bordeaux because it has a very sought after qualities, but will only be seen on the back label in small percentages. In the Languedoc region of France, Graciano is grown in very small amounts under the name “Morrastel”. Blends containing Graciano are typically best consumed young and fresh, but do have the capability of being barrel aged and kept cellared for years.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"burgo-viejo-rioja-graciano-organic-2019","title":"Burgo Viejo Rioja Graciano Organic 2019","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe grapes here are coming from a 2-hectare single vineyard, grown organically, with a distinctive stony soil (it is an old quarry).
