Wine Description
A pioneering grower of Graciano in South Australia, Landaire has had great success with this wine. We even showed it at a Masters of Wine tasting in its home region of Rioja.
Graciano is Rioja’s secret weapon but they invariably use it in blends. We’ve kept it pure to showcase its pristine fruit and spice. Medium-bodied with fragrant violets and black pepper spice aromas. The palate is awash with damson plum fruit and more of that cracked black pepper note. Serve lightly chilled on a warm day. Drink now to 2026 to revel in all that sumptuous fruit and spice
Winemaker's Bio
Carolyn is Landaire’s vigneron. Carolyn firmly believes that quality and style are set in the vineyard. She hands-on manages the vines for optimal quality, selects the grapes, the timing of harvest, and the final blend of the Landaire and Eliza wines. Of Swiss-heritage, Carolyn was born in country Victoria and studied Agriculture at Melbourne University, completing her PhD in the field of plant biochemistry at Adelaide University. Her post-doctoral work was at CSIRO in Adelaide. In 1998 Carolyn married David and moved to the Padthaway wine region and together they planted their premium vineyards and established Landaire Wines.
