Details

*Vintage may vary by location*

Vineyards are planted on very unique soils of red clay (indicative of being rich in iron) mixed with red slate, and because of the hillside location are shallow and nutrient-deficient. The Garnacha grapes of Alto Moncayo undergo very strict vineyard selection, from vines planted as far back as the early 1900's through the 1970's. Only the most perfectly mature clusters are selected and carried in small crates to prevent crushing, where they are further sorted and selected at triage tables. Wines undergo malolactic fermentation in both French & American oak, and aged in new barrels between anywhere from 16-24 months. These practices, in combination with the unique microclimate of the area ensure superior quality Garnacha that is distinct from any other in the Campo de Borja D.O.

Deep garnet in the glass, this wine has an enticing nose of black currant, cocoa powder and coffee bean. It offers gorgeous layers of fruit and spice dotted with flecks of chocolate. Powerful tannins gradually mellow out and leave behind touches of cherry and chocolate.

A bold red in a modern style, offering fine-grained, dense tannins swathed in glossy blackberry and black currant fruit, with fragrant accents of toast, dried sage, melted licorice, smoke and cocoa powder. Long and generous on the palate but well-structured and lively throughout. Best from 2026 through 2031.
