La Mimbrera Graciano 2021
Rioja Alta | Single-Varietal Plot Wine 750ml
"The elegance of the forgotten grape: a tribute to Graciano that reaches its zenith with an electric freshness and a longevity destined for collectors."
The Atlantic Soul: Graciano Purity
La Mimbrera 2021 is one of Tom Puyaubert's most personal creations. Hailing from a unique plot with gravel and clay soils in Ábalos, this 100% Graciano challenges conventions with its vibrant nerve and depth. It is a wine of extreme aging potential, designed to evolve with elegance for decades, offering a wild yet sophisticated sensory experience that only great single-varietals of this grape can provide.

2. Sommelier's Notes
Appearance: Deep cherry red with purple hues. Very high, dense, and bright intensity.
Nose: Exuberant and wild profile. Notable acidic black fruits (blackberry, cranberry) intertwined with garrigue, black pepper, clove, and a pronounced graphite mineral background.
Palate: Explosive and taut entry. Its marked acidity provides impressive verticality. Fine-grained tannins and imposing structure culminate in a long and energetic balsamic finish.
