VOCHÉ – Graciano Selección Rioja 2018 🇪🇸

Rare Graciano Power from One of Rioja’s Oldest Wineries

It’s bold. It’s rare. It’s Rioja with a rebel streak.
The 2018 VOCHÉ Graciano Selección is a 100% Graciano bombshell — structured, full-bodied, and aged for 12 months in new French oak. Crafted by Bodegas Manzanos, this wine puts the spotlight on a grape that most wineries only whisper about. If you like your reds dark, spicy, and dripping in old-world swagger, this is your bottle.

🏅 89 Points – Wine-Searcher

“Intense and structured with deep fruit, spice, and elegant oak.”

🍷 Tasting Notes

• Color: Deep ruby red, high-intensity, and almost inky.

• Nose: Dark berries, black cherries, and prunes meet black chocolate, toffee, and a whisper of oak smoke.

• Palate: Full-bodied and unapologetic. Bold fruit, licorice, spice, and earth all wrapped in velvety tannins and balanced oak.

• Finish: Long and powerful — a slow fade of dark fruit, spice, and polished structure.

🏰 The Story Behind the Grape

Graciano is the black sheep of Rioja varietals — low-yielding, tough to tame, but extraordinary when done right. And Bodegas Manzanos, founded in 1890 in Haro’s legendary Barrio de la Estación, knows exactly how to handle it.

This bottle is a love letter to Rioja’s rebellious side: 12 months in new French oak, crafted in the same cellars that helped define Spanish wine as we know it.

🍽️ Pairing Power Moves
