Crafted entirely from old-vine Garnacha, this wine showcases intense aromas of ripe blackberries, cherries, and dark plums, with nuances of vanilla, spice, and a touch of earthiness. On the palate, it is full-bodied and rich, with concentrated flavors of dark fruit, chocolate, and a hint of licorice, supported by firm tannins and a balanced acidity. The long, luxurious finish makes it perfect for pairing with roasted meats, hearty stews, or aged cheeses.

Producer Information

Bodega Alto Moncayo is a Spanish winery in Campo de Borja, known for exclusively making wines from the Garnacha wine grape variety. It was founded in 2002 as a partnership between Andalucia producer Jorge Ordez, Australian winemaker Chris Ringland, and Bodegas Borsao, one of the largest and most influential producers in the Campo de Borja appellation. The Alto Moncayo vineyards cover 92 hectares (227 acres) around the town of Borja in the heart of the DO. These vineyards are located in the foothills of the Moncayo Massif: namely Ainzn, Fuendejaln and Tabuenca. The vines sit at altitudes that range between 1600-2600ft (490-790m) above sea level. The soil has a high stone content and is made up of limestone, marl and slate, a composition that makes for excellent drainage and encourages deep root sets toward a layer of water-retaining clay. Alto Moncayo produces a trio wines, all sourced from old-vine Garnacha which produce low yields of grapes with concentrated flavor compounds. The oldest vines are as much as 100 years old and are used in the Aquilon cuve, with slightly younger average ages in the vines harvested for the Alto Moncayo and the Veraton expressions.
