A fortified sweet Graciano (or Tintilla di Rota)

I got to the Gonzalez Byass booth right at the close and found this bottle there. They tell me that Tintilla de Rota is an indigenous grape and I could not resist a taste. There was another wine (a dry one this time) which also contains a little of the grape and that it would probably be available in Hong Kong later. However, on reaching home and looking up the grape, I encountered the assertion that Tintilla di Rota is nothing other another synonym for Graciano.

Like the writer of Fringe Wine, I like to get to the bottom of these things and I found his entry on the grape immensely useful. The results of his travails wa that Tintilla di Rota is genetically identical to Graciano, so this Vinexpo, I have tasted two different Graciano sweet wines - the other being a late harvest Tinta Miuda. As for the wine, it was a deep purple ruby with a sweet sl alcoholic berry fruity nose. It was sweet and fruity on the palate with a hint of wood, with a slightly woody sweet acid backbone for support.
