Much brighter and fresher than the other garnachas from this producer with herbal, orange peel and delicate berry notes. The tannins are fresh and almost crisp, easily balancing the full body. Long dry finish of some complexity.
Producer
Bodegas Alto Moncayo
The best expression of this terroir comes from Bodegas Alto Moncayo. Flawlessly highlighting the native grape, Garancha’s full potential, Alto Moncayo is a step above the rest. Situated in the heart of the Campo de Borja Denominación de Origen, the 92-hectare estate lies on the sloping foothills of the Moncayo Mountains. With the ambition to become a global reference point for its local grape, Jorge Ordonez and Barossa winemaker, Chris Ringland established this exclusive project in 2002. Upon the highest property in Borja, the red-clay and slate soils are home to Alto Moncayo’s key ingredient - the long-standing, traditional Garnacha vines. This joint-venture has led to the production of three brands, each made from 100% Garnacha grapes: Veratón, Alto Moncayo, and the first-rate Aquilón. The wines are flavorful and massively concentrated examples of the DO. The fruit forward notes are set against the wines’ undeniable minerality, making each of the labels a true and unique Alto Moncayo.
