STONE COTTAGE CELLARS

Graciano from Stone Cottage Cellars offers a glimpse into the rich world of Spanish reds. As a traditional blending component in Rioja, Graciano adds freshness and structure to Tempranillo-based blends with its characteristic black cherry, blackberry, plum, violet, pepper, clove, licorice, and dried herb notes. Expect high acidity, firm tannin, and deep color, making it powerful even at modest percentages in blends. Stone Cottage Cellars likely crafts Graciano to highlight these qualities, potentially presenting a compelling varietal wine when ripeness is managed well, though underripe examples might feel sharp or green. This grape pairs beautifully with dishes seasoned with paprika or herbs, such as lamb, chorizo, grilled beef, and roasted peppers.
