Variety: Graciano 80%, Tempranillo 20%
Region: Rioja DOCa, Spain
"Bodegas Breton was founded in 1983, their state-of-the-art winemaking facility completed in 1985 just prior to that year's harvest. Although of relatively recent origin, Breton takes a decidedly traditional approach. The philosophical objective is preservation of the elegant, concentrated "Rioja Alta" style and the longevity for which traditional Riojas are famous.
The Dominio de Conte, a textbook 55acre vineyard on a protected horseshoe bend of the Ebro near Briones, is in the very heart of Rioja Alta. Overall average vineyard age is 27 years - the highest of any major Rioja producer - grape varieties consisting mainly of Tempranillo, with Mazuelo, Graciano, Garnacha, Viura, and Malvasia. The Logrono and Briones vineyards together provide an ideal balance of ripe fruit and acidity."
