Aradón Graciano 2017 is a plot wine with infinite possibilities, a Rioja that perfectly expresses the essence of the native Graciano variety, expressive and pure, with nerve and punch, complex and tasty. A treasure to discover that will not leave you indifferent. Ideal to accompany Iberian pork such as a prey or even an Iberian pluma, delicious with a grilled hake or sea bream on the back, mushroom dishes and, for the most daring, we suggest pairing it with chocolate desserts. The production of the 2017 harvest of this wine was 2,210 numbered bottles.

Description
PREPARATION
Grapes: 100% Graciano.
The grape used to make Aradón Graciano 2017 red wine comes from vineyards located at altitudes of 400 to 600 meters on east-facing slopes, on calcareous clay soils. The harvest is carried out manually and later the selection is carried out on tape. It is produced in concrete tanks and malolactic fermentation in extra-fine grain French oak barrels. It is aged for 7 months in French oak barrels and concrete eggs. Aradón was a town that existed since Roman times and that mysteriously disappeared, it was located on a plane at 550m. of altitude called “La Mesa” currently occupied by vineyards up to 90 years old, owned by Bodegas Aradón (Cooperativa Vinícola Riojana de Alcanadre). Since 1957, in the town of Alcanadre, 36km away. East of Logroño, the winegrowers of Alcanadre pay tribute to Aradón, giving their name to their wines made with grapes from very old vineyards, some of them centuries old, which they have cultivated with care generation after generation for centuries.
