Vintage 2021 is the first year Seneca Vintners have released their hallowed Graciano from their single vineyard site which is nestled on the banks of the majestic Goulburn River.
Graciano is an Iberian variety native to Portugal and Spain, is richly coloured, fresh and beautifully perfumed. The varietal is ideally suited and is thriving in our sandy clay loam soils within the Nagambie Lakes sub-GI.
Seneca Vintners makes premium, small-batch volume wines, that honour and showcase the site from which the fruit is sourced. Well-balanced wines with distinctive character and flavour.
