2023 Graciano

A deep and vibrant purple, the 2023 vintage is nothing short of stunning in the glass. 

With the most pronounced nose in the Samuel’s Gorge collection, this wine almost jumps out of the glass; liquorice Allsorts, boysenberry and cardamom followed by lashings of boiled cola lollies and red cherry.

Texturally, this wine has fine yet prominent, mouth-coating tannins. Coupled with coruscating acidity and densely layered fruit, the 10th release of Samuel’s Gorge Graciano is quite possibly the most complex, yet balanced and integrated Graciano to date.

We are thrilled to be working with this grape as a blending tool in our Kaleidoscope Horizons but also as a stand-alone variety where it is a show stopper, built for aging.

A versatile wine best suited to darker meats such as lamb, kangaroo or venison; however, if a meat-free alternative is required why not try pairing with a foraged pine mushroom risotto or slice of black forest gateau!
