Viña Bujanda Graciano Rioja 2014
Rioja DOCa
Loading...
Delectable and intriguing in many ways, this 9-year-old Rioja is rare. It's made from pure Graciano, aged gently for a year in French oak barrels. This is a sublime red from a 5-star family estate, with red berry, plum, tea and creamy spice notes.

The Wine
Carlos and Pilar Martínez Bujanda are 4th-generation winemakers who blaze a trail. Their great grandfather founded a cellar in 1889, which the siblings reimagined in 1984 with a state-of-the-art cellar, one of Spain's finest. That sealed their worldwide reputation for quality. Since then, Carlos and Pilar have founded the very beautiful Finca Valpiedra estate in the Alavesa and their most recent project, Viña Bujanda, in Oyón, where their great grandfather started the family's journey. This is fabulous red, made purely from Graciano, a variety that once was Rioja's chief grape, yet today makes up just 1%, but increasing. No surprise when you taste the sublime quality of this wine. Aged a year in French oak casks, it has matured beautifully.
