About La Mimbrera de Exopto Graciano

The first kiss, the first paycheck, the first journey to an unfamiliar place. Firsts always hold a special sentiment, a blend of excitement, anticipation, and purity that is never repeated. For the French winemaker Tom Puyaubert, the driving force behind Bodegas Exopto, the La Mimbrera estate embodies precisely that initial emotion. It was the first plot he planted in the village of Ábalos, right next to the legendary century-old vineyards of the area. At a time when almost no one dared to invest in the graciano grape alone due to its untamed nature, Tom chose to place his trust in the land and time. Mimbrera de Exopto Graciano emerges as the natural consequence of that bravery, proving that the most daring beginnings leave the deepest marks.

From the municipality of Ábalos, in the region of Rioja Alta and at the foot of the majestic Sierra Cantabria, this wine conveys the unique typicity of the DOCa Rioja. The La Mimbrera plot is situated at an altitude of approximately 550 metres above sea level, a privileged position that receives the cool mountain air. The soil is clayey, calcareous, rich in limestone, and composed of rock layers that compel the vines to delve deeply to seek nutrients and water. The climate combines the warmth of the Mediterranean profile with a pronounced Atlantic influence, causing significant temperature fluctuations between day and night that favour slow ripening. The variety used is 100% graciano, a historic native variety characterised by its vibrant acidity and aromatic profile. The cultivation philosophy is entirely and respectful of the surrounding biodiversity, with work carried out by hand and harvesting done manually.

For the production of La Mimbrera de Exopto Graciano, the winery follows a meticulous vinification process aimed at preserving the grape's delicacy. Once the clusters are hand-harvested in small boxes, the grapes are carefully selected upon arrival at the winery. A partial destemming is carried out, and the grapes are placed in concrete vats to begin a cold pre-fermentation maceration, a gentle rest that allows for the extraction of aromas and colour without imparting bitterness. The alcoholic fermentation occurs with indigenous yeasts at a controlled temperature. Subsequently, the wine undergoes malolactic fermentation, the natural transformation that softens the grape's sharper acids, and it is aged for about 15 months in used 600-litre French oak barrels. Finally, the wine is bottled after a gentle clarification to preserve its purity.

La Mimbrera de Exopto Graciano is fluid, profound, and extraordinarily fresh, where wild black fruit, floral violet nuances, and the minerality of limestone blend into an unforgettable harmony. An honest and vibrant red wine that pays tribute to the courage of embracing authenticity from day one.
