Cuatro del Cuatro (Graciano)

Spain
Navarra
2022

This wine is a tribute to Antonio Sanz, the father of the three brothers running the winery today. It comes from a 40 year old vineyards in Ombatillo, Corella, planted with Graciano. The wine ferments spontaneously in 500  liter French, oak barrels. Malolactic and elevage happen for 12 months in 2-year old 300 liter barrels. It is the highest expression of Graciano we’ve encountered in the region. Limited availability.

"The varietal Graciano 2022 Cuatro del Cuatro, their homage to their father, who didn`t grub up the vines when many did. It fermented in stainless steel with indigenous yeast, and the wine matured in used 300- and 500-liter barrels for one year. It has good ripeness, 13.65% alcohol with a pH of 3.45 and 5.5 grams of acidity. It`s perfumed and floral, varietal, perhaps with a little more rusticity than in previous vintages. They selected six 500-liter barres and two 300-liter ones to make this cuvée. 3,600 bottles produced. It was bottled in April 2024."
