Graciano

52-60 2023 is the third vintage of this distinctive blend of red and white grapes by Abel Mendoza. The wine comes from small, contiguous plots in Mondiarte, in Labastida. The vines are around 60 years old and are planted on red sandstone soils. The vineyards are farmed organically. The blend is made from Tempranillo, Graciano and Garnacha, complemented by white grapes such as Garnacha Blanca, Malvasía Riojana and Viura. Only 1,407 bottles were produced.

A micro-vinification from selected grapes, berry by berry, in the best parcels of old vines. Only one to two barrels are produced each year, so only 60 bottles are available for Belgium. One of the only Rioja wines made with 100% Graciano.

This "Friends' wine" is the flagship of this family bodega, located in Corral de Almaguer. It coiuld be sold under the La Mancha denomination, but owner Juan de la Barreda prefers to use the Tierra de Castilla label. The wine is a blend of old Tempranillo grapes (here they call it Cencibel), from three different terroirs: La Desehilla, Monte Alto and El Convento, with some shiraz and cabernet from younger vines.

This wine is in a league of its own. It comes from the best vines, and only the grapes where polymerization has started are selected. Tempranillo has a lot of different clones and Roda only wants to use the best. Cirsión means thistle in latin and there is one on the label.

The house's "Grand Cru". This cuvée comes from a 0.95 ha parcel located 540 metres above sea level in Abalos, in the Rioja Alta. Only 1,180 bottles of this very Burgundian Rioja are made.

This cuvée is a tribute to the two brothers' paternal grandfather who bought the Peñaescalera vine in Baños de Ebro. A vine with a veru low yield, located at the high end of the village, so for a while no one harvested it anymore. And as the soil was very stony, no one would have been "loco" (crazy) enough to buy it in the 50's. But the loco grandfather did it, and its 2.8 hectares now called Finca de los Locos, produced a magnificent wine. And we are all crazy about it!

The Pies Negros cuvée is the "village wine" of the Artuke Brothers. The 6 vineyards it comes from are located in Abalos. They are all bush-vines, planted between 530 et 600 metres of altitude. Part of the grapes are still foot-trodden in the old fashion - hence the name of pies negros, black feet. The total production of this cuvée is 10.500 bottles.

One of the rarest wines of this great estate. This Gran Reserva is so in demand (for the 2004 was marked 100/100) that it has always been difficult to acquire. But we were able to secure a small allocation. A Gran Reserva worthy of its name.

In 2015, the estate planted 4,5 ha of Graciano. The aim was to make a wine with a moderate level of alcohol and a good acidity. Graciano comes from the North of Spain, where it is often blended with Tempranillo to which its brings its acidity. In a hot region like Toledo, it keeps its freshness while reaching an excellent ripeness.
