Bodegas Exopto Rioja La Mimbrera Graciano 2021 arrives from winemaker Lucía Torres in a single-vineyard site of Rioja Alta – a focused Graciano that marries old-vine concentration with meticulous oak handling. Bodegas Exopto Rioja La Mimbrera Graciano 2021 shows clear provenance and bottle presence that demands attention from serious collectors and dinner hosts.

The nose opens with blackcurrant, wild blackberry and crushed Mediterranean herbs leading to cacao, graphite and iron-streaked tannins on the palate. Mid-palate displays fine-grained tannin, bright acidity and a spicy clove note with concentrated dark fruit and persistent savoury length that rewards careful tasting and modest cellar time.

Pair with charred rib-eye, slow-cooked lamb shanks or aged manchego in moody, candlelit dinners and robust gatherings. Serve slightly cool from cellar and decant to reveal complexity; buy a bottle or secure a case now to anchor your Rioja selection.
