If you get in touch with Juan Bautista Chávarri, he can tell you all about it. The government of La Rioja did the experiment with the acacia barrels and the wine, Viña Grajera, is given away to visiting dignitaries and sampled at tastings given by the government. It is not available commercially. All the best, Tom Hi Adrian, The wine in question came from grapes grown in a vineyard at the La Rioja Viticultural Research facility, vinified and aged there.
