Arizcuren SoloGraciano is a 100% Graciano red from Rioja, Spain. The 2022 is perfumed and fine-grained, with vibrant acidity, lively flavors and the peppery touch typical of the variety. The grapes come from El Arenal, a single vineyard of sandy soils at 2000 feet, where Graciano's long growing cycle suits the site. They are harvested by hand in small crates, fermented in open stainless steel tanks with daily treading and minimal pumping over, then aged 7 months in 500L French oak barrels. It is 13% alcohol.
Javier Arizcuren comes from a family of wine growers in Quel, in La Rioja Baja. He trained as an architect before studying viticulture and oenology at the University of La Rioja. He began making wine in 2009 in the family home and took over the family vineyards in 2011. His project uses only the best plots, 40 to 130 years old and mostly Garnacha and Mazuelo bush vines, farmed organically without herbicides, pesticides or synthetic fertilizers.
