Artwine The Grace Graciano

Artwine The Grace Graciano 2022 from the Clare Valley delivers an enticing combination of morello cherry, dark berries and fragrant spice. Estate-grown and single-vineyard, this expressive Graciano balances generous fruit with savoury depth and lively acidity, offering a distinctive Australian take on a Spanish variety that deserves your attention.

Blackberry, plum and blueberry mingle with crushed herbs, black pepper and earthy nuances, while hints of cured meat add savoury intrigue. Artwine The Grace 2022 Graciano carries its concentrated fruit on fine yet sturdy tannins, finishing with a lingering herbal edge. Five-spice notes bring another delicious layer to this characterful red.

Serve alongside chargrilled lamb, chorizo and white bean stew, or slow-roasted pork shoulder. These suggested pairings complement its peppery spice and savoury character, while fresh acidity keeps richer mouthfuls inviting. For a meat-free match, try smoky eggplant with tomato and lentils, letting the wine’s fruit and herbal notes shine.
