Winemaker's Series Tempranillo & Graciano
Brown Brothers
Minimum order of 1 case or 6 bottles (Mixed or straight)
A marriage between two beloved Spanish grapes, this classic Rioja blend combines rich, bramble fruits with savoury spice. Vibrant in colour with aromas of beautiful deep plum and rich berries, enjoy with a BBQ, vegetarian paella, or lamb shoulder. Enjoy now or cellar up to 10 years from vintage.
The medium bodied style and savoury flavours of this wine render it quite versatile to a range of dishes. A paella with spicy chorizo, olives, capers and anchovies would be lovely, or rack of lamb with a rosemary and olive tapenade, served with artichokes and eggplant.
The Graciano spent 9 months in older French and American oak, while the Tempranillo was unwooded to retain as much fruit aromas as possible. It was bottled with an alcohol of 13.5%.
