    THE ARCHITECT – Graciano

    The grape winemakers love and growers avoid

    Graciano accounts for around 2% of La Rioja’s red grape plantings. Before phylloxera devastated European vineyards in the late 1800s, there was significantly more Graciano planted in Rioja.

    The problem was economics. Graciano is low-yielding, ripens late, and is prone to rot and downy mildew. Growers replaced it with easier options.

    But winemakers never stopped wanting it. Graciano produces wines with intense red color with violet hints and high aromatic intensity. It’s ideal for aging wines, thanks to its polyphenol content and notably high acidity compared to other Rioja varieties.

    In blends, Graciano provides deep color, structure, and marked acidity. It needs clay-limestone soils and consistent warmth to ripen properly, which is why it’s found more commonly in the warmer Rioja Oriental region.

    The grape is fairly resistant to mildew and powdery mildew. Because it ripens late, Graciano needs heat through the growing season to avoid strong vegetal notes.

    Single-variety Graciano wines are rare but increasingly available as winemakers recognize what this grape can do. When you find one, you’re tasting something that almost disappeared completely.

    THE COLOR GUARD – Garnacha (Grenache)

    The grape that almost disappeared

    Garnacha makes up around 7-8% of La Rioja’s red grape plantings today. Thirty years ago, there was much more of it planted across the region.

    In the 1980s and 1990s, many growers replaced their Garnacha vines with Tempranillo, which was easier to sell and more fashionable. But Garnacha has qualities that are becoming more valuable with climate change – it’s drought-resistant and handles heat well.

    You’ll find Garnacha vineyards scattered across all three Rioja sub-regions, from around 400 meters elevation up to around 700 meters. The grape tends to produce lower yields than Tempranillo and is prone to poor fruit set after flowering, which historically made it less popular with growers focused on quantity.

    In blends, Garnacha adds body, fruitiness, and sweet red fruit flavors. It brings delicate floral aromas and what winemakers call “mid-palate succulence” – that juicy, mouth-filling quality.

    The best Garnacha comes from old vines grown with low yields. In Rioja Oriental, where conditions are warmer and drier, the grape shows particularly well. Some producers are now making single-variety Garnacha wines that showcase the grape’s ability to reflect specific terroirs.

    THE FOUNDATION – Tempranillo

    The grape that built La Rioja

    Tempranillo accounts for around 75-80% of red grape plantings in La Rioja. Its name comes from “temprano” (early in Spanish), because it ripens about two weeks earlier than most varieties in the region.

    In Rioja, Tempranillo thrives across vineyard elevations ranging from around 300 to 800 meters above sea level. The grape produces wines with moderate tannins and acidity, making it versatile for everything from fresh young wines to bottles that can age for decades.

    The variety performs well in cooler climates with good temperature variations between day and night. In these conditions, it produces structured wines with red fruit flavors, along with notes of tobacco and leather as they age.

    Tempranillo has been the backbone of Rioja’s winemaking for centuries. The grape responds exceptionally well to oak aging – traditionally American oak, which gives vanilla and coconut notes, though many producers now also use French oak for more subtle spice characteristics.

    You’ll find Tempranillo as a single-variety wine or blended with Garnacha, Graciano, and Mazuelo. Each combination brings out different aspects of the grape’s personality, from bright and fruity to complex and age-worthy.
