Savina Lane, Lady of Spain Graciano 2015, Granite Belt, Queensland, Australia
Tasting Note: Could Graciano grown in Australia taste better than where it originated in Spain?
Taste this bottle and tell me.
Deep-intensity ruby in color, this wine has an aromatic, medium-plus-intensity nose of black plum, white-rose blossom, red cherry and bramble with hints of vanilla.
On the palate the dry, medium-plus-bodied Graciano has a reserved florality along with some chalk along the midpalate.
Lucky for Spain, that Savina Lane only sells 100 cases of this wine
Bottle Note: Handpicked, handcrafted, limited production, single vineyard. Only 1,990 bottles produced. Aromas of violets and red cherries with a gathering of spices and earthy overtones. Dark chocolate and blueberries highlight a structural palate with velvet-like tannins and seamless acidity. Indigenous to the Rioja region of Spain, our Graciano spends a minimum 14 months in French oak before bottling. Perfect with all red meat dishes, venison and lamb. Serve around 18°-20°C.
