Mount Majura Vineyard Graciano 2023 is a smart, distinctly Australian take on Spain’s noble Graciano grape, grown in the cool Canberra District and delivering fragrance, freshness and serious savoury edge. Winemaker Mount Majura has captured the variety’s bright, age-worthy character in a tight, elegant red that rewards a decant or a few years in the cellar.mountmajura+1

Fine and open from the first pour, peppery spice is softened by crushed raspberry, mulberry, raspberry leaf, dried herbs and fragrant sandalwood. The Mount Majura 2023 Graciano is medium-bodied yet concentrated, with a restrained core, lively acidity and polished tannins that drive a long, savoury finish.

Pair this characterful Canberra District Graciano with smoky barbecued lamb, Spanish-style pork, chorizo paella or slow-roasted beef with rosemary. Its herbal perfume and firm, food-loving shape cut beautifully through richer dishes, making this an exciting bottle for adventurous drinkers and a superb alternative to Shiraz or Tempranillo.
