Description
In a nutshell:
A highly awarded, rich, organic Graciano from La Mancha.
The lowdown:
Bodegas Verum's relatively new, exciting Ulterior project is about producing organic wines made traditionally from both forgotten, historic, regional varieties and new varieties to the region that are future proof with regards to the changing climate. Graciano, a variety more commonly found in Rioja and Navarra, is one such new introduction to La Mancha and what a wine Verum have made with it! For such a hot part of Spain Graciano can still produce wines that are high in acidity and have relatively modest alcohol levels and so has found a new home in this part of the country. 10% has been aged in larger oak barrels with the rest in traditional very large clay jars for 10 months, and then at least a further 1 year in bottle in cellars before release. Black fruit, violet and floral aromas with garrigue notes lead onto a rich and intense palate with those black fruit notes coming through, a nice bite of spice and black pepper, smooth tannins, and fresh, balanced acidity.
95/100 - Sarah Jane Evans MW (Decanter Magazine), 17/20 - Ferran Centelles (jancisrobinson.com)
When to drink:
Quite versatile. Maybe avoid more citric dishes. Try with grilled red meats, ham, and especially chorizo based dishes.
Suitable for Vegans, Organic
