Performance

Understanding Gracia, Saint-Emilion Grand Cru, Bordeaux

The winemaking philosophy at Gracia revolves around minimal intervention to allow the character of the terroir and the quality of the fruit to shine through. Fermentation takes place in a combination of temperature-controlled stainless steel and concrete tanks, followed by ageing in French oak barrels. This careful maturation process, typically extending up to 24 months, imbues the wines with complexity and elegance while preserving their fruit-driven character and freshness. Gracia's flagship wine displays ripe black and red fruit, spice, florals and liquorice in a velvety palate underpinned by smooth tannins and a subtle minerality. This wine has excellent ageing potential.
