Producer
Bodegas El Nido
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.
