Close100% Graciano
Food pairings: Grilled lamb chops, charcuterie, roast chicken, or mushroom dishes.
Winemaking: The grapes were picked by hand on September 2, 2023, destemmed and fermented spontaneously with native yeasts in concrete. The wine then aged 12 months in a large French oak vat.
Vineyards and terroir: Young Graciano vines in Elvillar, in Rioja Alavesa, on limestone silt at 525 to 580 metres. The vineyards are dry-farmed, worked by horse, and farmed organically and biodynamically.
Family and history: Bodegas Bhilar is the family winery of David Sampedro and Melanie Hickman in Elvillar, at the foot of the Sierra de Cantabria. David first planted Graciano in Elvillar in 1999, and in 2016 the couple built an off-grid, solar-powered winery.
