Vina Zorzal Graciano, Navarra 2023 Macabeo eight months in sherry casksVia Zorzal Graciano is a red wine from D. O Navarra produced by Bodegas Zorzal in the village of Corella. It was founded in 1989 with the aim of rescuing the forgotten indigenous varieties of the area. Graciano was once much more widely planted in Spain, and is undergoing a renaissance of sorts as a new appreciation takes hold. The Graciano varietal adapts very well to a hot climate such a Navarra. Wines with a good amount of freshness can be achieved
