Cortijo Los Aguilares, Graciano, D. O. Sierras de Málaga, red wine, 0.75l
Graciano from the Cortijo Los Aguilares winery is a bold and structured red wine made from 100% Graciano grapes, coming from the mountainous area of Serranía de Ronda (D.O. Sierras de Málaga) at an altitude of around 900 metres.
Thanks to the combination of Mediterranean climate and pronounced day-night temperature differences, the wine retains freshness and aromatic complexity. After fermentation it ages for approximately 12 months in French barrels, which give it elegance and round off the tannins.
Both the aroma and flavour are dominated by dark fruit, spicy and herbal notes with a light balsamic touch, while on the palate the wine is full-bodied, with a firm structure, lively acidity and a long, mineral finish.
We recommend serving at 15-17 °C; it pairs beautifully with bolder meat dishes or mature cheeses.
Grape variety:
The wine is made from 100% Graciano, a traditional Spanish variety known for its intensity, higher acidity and great ageing potential. It is a late-ripening variety, harvested last so as to reach full phenolic ripeness and complexity.
Vineyard:
The grapes come from vineyards in the mountainous area of Serranía de Ronda (D.O. Sierras de Málaga) at an altitude of around 900 metres. The marked differences between day and night temperatures help preserve freshness and aromatic richness. The soils are predominantly clay-limestone and poorer, which naturally limits yields and promotes concentration of flavours. The combination of Mediterranean climate, plenty of sunshine and winter rainfall creates ideal conditions for this demanding variety.
Production and ageing:
After careful selection of the grapes, fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature of around 28 °C. Malolactic fermentation takes place partly in concrete tanks and partly in oak barrels, which contributes to the balance between freshness and structure. The wine then ages for approximately 12 months in French oak barrels (225 and 300 l), where the tannins round off and the overall expression is harmonised.
Taste and aroma:
The wine offers a deep and structured aromatic profile with notes of dark fruit, such as blackberries and blackcurrant, complemented by spicy, herbal and slightly balsamic nuances. On the palate it is full-bodied, with a firm tannin structure and a lively acidity that gives the wine energy and a long finish with a mineral touch.
Food pairing:
Thanks to its intensity and structure it pairs beautifully with bolder dishes such as grilled beef, lamb, game or slow-braised meats. It also excellently complements Mediterranean cuisine, herb-based dishes and mature cheeses. The ideal serving temperature is 15-17 °C. We recommend decanting the wine before serving so its aroma can fully develop.
