The Groszman Preston Valley Graciano
Geographe, South West Australia, Western Australia, Australia
Graciano is mainly planted in Rioja and Navarro in Spain. This wine from the warm Geographe region of Western Australia. Interestingly known as Xeres in California - the latter fact from the Oxford Companion to Wine. This wine was deep crimson with a cherry rim. Aromatic primary aromas of cherry and earth. A medium bodied palate showing red cherry and earth - very food friendly. Oak plays a supporting role - the wine spending 12 months in old French Oak. Was a very good accompaniment to Pasta. Rare to find an Australian grown 100% Graciano and on the strength of this we should be growing more.

Apr 7th, 2020Graciano is a Spanish red variety whose spiritual home is Rioja. This example comes from Geographe WA which should suit it perfectly. Grapey, primary (very young) with a spicy nose. Palate has notes of sour cherries. Excellent food wine as you would expect.
