A delicate hint of <strong>Violets<\/strong> gives the bouquet a floral elegance. The balance between freshness, fruit and spicy complexity is remarkably successful.<\/dd>\n<dt>Palate<\/dt>\n<dd>Opulent and fleshy, the Usuaran unfolds on the palate without losing its structure. The <strong>Ripe berry flavours<\/strong> continue, while <strong>polished tannins<\/strong> create a velvety mouthfeel. This demonstrates the great strength of the Graciano grape: despite its ample ripeness, a <strong>Present acidity<\/strong> for tension and a stable backbone. The spicy barrique notes are present but harmoniously integrated and enrich the aromatic complexity.<\/dd>\n<dt>Departure<\/dt>\n<dd>Long and persistent, with lingering fruity and spicy notes that finish elegantly.<\/dd>\n<dt>Terroir &amp; origin<\/dt>\n<dd>From Tierra Estella, the <strong>coolest subzone of the DO Navarra<\/strong>, is the origin of this exceptional wine. The vineyard lies on <strong>550 metres altitude<\/strong> and benefits from limestone and sandstone soils. The biodynamically cultivated Emilio Valerio winery spreads its 40 hectares over 70 plots at altitudes of up to 700 metres - ideal conditions for freshness and elegance.<\/dd>\n<dt>Grape variety &amp; vinification<\/dt>\n<dd><strong>100% Graciano<\/strong> - a courageous and rewarding decision. While this grape variety was traditionally only used as a blending partner in Rioja wines, here it demonstrates its potential as a soloist. The 24-month ageing in new and used barrels <strong>French barriques<\/strong> gives the wine structure and complexity without masking the freshness typical of the grape variety.<\/dd>\n<dt>Food pairing suggestions<\/dt>\n<dd>A versatile companion for <strong>grilled rack of lamb<\/strong>, <strong>Duck breast with fig reduction<\/strong>, <strong>braised beef stew<\/strong> or <strong>matured Manchego<\/strong>. The acidity structure also makes it an interesting partner for <strong>savoury stews<\/strong> and <strong>Mediterranean stews<\/strong>.<\/dd>\n<dt>Special features<\/dt>\n<dd>A fascinating example of how Graciano can shine as a solo artist. The combination of biodynamic cultivation, altitude and cool microclimate results in a wine with a remarkable balance between power and finesse.<\/dd>\n<\/dl>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<ul class='wine-character-bullets'>\n<li><em>The Usuaran 2016 from Laderas de Montejurra is a single-varietal Graciano from the DO Navarra that impressively showcases the strengths of this often underestimated grape variety.
