Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2020 Graciano-Garnacha Grano a Grano was produced with hand-destemmed grapes (60% Garnacha and 40% Graciano) fermented in a small stainless steel tank and matured in 500-liter oak barrels for 18 months. It has 14% alcohol, a low pH of 3.37 and 5.8 grams of acidity. The oak is a little more noticeable here than in the other two Grano a Grano bottlings from this vintage, but it's also more aromatic and floral, which gave it an exuberant profile, showy and addictive; I couldn't help going back to the glass to smell it... It should calm down with some more time in bottle, as the palate reveals terrific precision and balance, very fine tannins and acidity that should make it develop nicely in bottle. 1,190 bottles were filled in May 2022.

Description
Abel Mendoza Graciano-Garnacha Grano a Grano is a single varietal wine made with grapes from single Graciano vines intermixed in separate vineyards with other varietals accounting for about 40% of the volume and Garnacha from vines over 40 years old.
Winemaking
The grapes are picked and selected by hand in the vineyard. Once in the winery, the bunches are destemmed berry by berry and fermented at controlled temperatures in stainless steel tanks. After fermentation, the wine is matured for 18 months in new French oak barrels.
Taste
The palate is dry, structured, fresh and mellow. On the nose, there is a lot of aromatic strength.
