Vinification
The grapes are picked at night, when temperatures are cold, and macerated for 4 5 days in small stainless steel tanks. Slow fermentation by selected yeasts begins. By combining délestages and pumpovers at certain times, we favor the extraction and maceration process. Maceration is extended for 10 more days after fermentation We gently press the grapes and the wine carries out its malolactic fermentation in even smaller stainless steel tanks.When the wine has naturally lost its thickest suspended solids, we transfer it to hand crafted, fine grained French oak barrels. The wine is aged for 12 months in the same barrels without racking. It is bottled after light filtration without fining.

jeb dunnuck logo 250"A new addition to the portfolio, the 2021 Graciano comes from the La Pared Vineyard and is all varietal. It has a deep purple hue as well as a pure, incredibly intense nose of ripe blue fruits, white pepper, cedarwood, and liquid violets. These carry to a serious, full-bodied Graciano with a concentrated, powerful mouthfeel, high yet miraculously integrated acidity, and ripe tannins. It's a singular, incredibly impressive red from this team."
