這瓶應該是我的第一支西班牙紅酒,Rioja亦是我對西班牙紅酒慬有的一點認識。在馬沙百貨看見這支紅酒,價錢亦不貴只賣$148,就只考慮一會便買下來了。

這支酒開瓶後已經可以飲用,果香四溢,酒色呈清徹的深紅色。稍為透氣,甜甜果味濃帶點辛辣,之後有單寧的苦澀及一點微酸,餘味帶著辛辣味道。酒質不太順滑,酒體…唔medium吧。



我相當喜歡這支酒,一開瓶可飲很方便,而且果味豐富帶點辛辣,很特別。

網上Tasting note:
It is very unusual to find a Rioja made from 100% Graciano, instead of the ususal Tempranillo-based blend. That's partly because the high-quality Graciano is naturally low-yielding unlike the productive Tempranillo. This is is big, gamy and super ripe on the nose with masses of deep, plummy fruit and a great sense of richness. The palate has relatively restrained, lightish mid palate, where the spice of the 24 months in French and American oak comes through strongly, but it delivers a great deal of rich, full fruit that builds in the finish as smooth, silky tannins and good acidity grip.


Graciano is a Spanish red wine grape that is grown primarily in Rioja. The vine produces a low yield that are normally harvestedin late October. The wine produces is characterized by its deep red color, strong aroma and ability to age well.[1] Graciano thrives in warm, arid climates.


Rioja is a wine, with Denominación de Origen Calificada (D.O.C. Qualified designation of origin) named after La Rioja, inSpain. Rioja is made from grapes grown not only in the Autonomous Community of La Rioja, but also in parts of Navarreand the Basque province of Álava. Rioja is further subdivided into three zones:Rioja Alta, Rioja Baja and Rioja Alavesa. Many wines have traditionally blended fruit from all three regions though there is a slow growth in single zone wines.
