2021 Low Rider

Graciano, the accidental planting goof that has become a prize for Paso! In 2011, the cuttings were brought to the region as Mourvèdre (Monastrell). Once the vines matured and fruit was fermented it was easy to see these were not as marked. It was discovered that the vines were mislabeled, thus, enter Graciano, and we couldn’t be happier for this goof. Graciano is a bold and velvety wine, which happens to be the third most popular variety in Rioja, Spain, following Tempranillo and Granacha. Low Rider starts off with a bright nose coupled with dustings of pie crust and all spice. The palate exudes mocha, cedar wood with bits of dried tobacco leaf leading to a lush pomegranate, cassis and black current filled lingering finish. // Pre-release wine for Club Member Fall Shipment. Will ship late October 2024.
