Description
Bodegas Alto Moncayo is among the absolute top wines in Campo de Borja and is known worldwide for its powerful, deeply concentrated Garnacha. This edition demonstrates this again with a wine bursting with ripe, dark fruit, intense structure, and a rich, velvety texture. It's a modern yet terroir-driven style that beautifully reflects the old vines and the extreme climate.
Origin and character
The grapes come from high-altitude, old Garnacha plantations, often over fifty years old. The soils consist of poor, stony subsoils that keep yields low and increase concentration. The combination of hot summer days and cool nights gives the grapes both strength and aromatic precision. This is the area where Garnacha can fully express itself, and you can taste that in every sip of Alto Moncayo.
In the glass, the wine displays a deep ruby red color. The aroma is intense and layered with black cherry, blackberry compote, fig, cedar, and subtle spices. As the wine opens, notes of licorice, cocoa, and a hint of Mediterranean herbs emerge. The style is rich but never heavy.
Vinification and style
The wine is made entirely from Garnacha grapes. Fermentation takes place in small stainless steel vats to maintain maximum temperature control. The wine is then aged in new and used oak barrels, developing its characteristic depth and creamy structure. The oak is clearly present but perfectly integrated, allowing the wine to maintain a balance between power and finesse.
On the palate, Alto Moncayo is opulent and full of silky tannins that enhance the ripe fruit expression. The flavor develops in layers of dark fruit, spices, subtle toasted notes, and a long, powerful finish. Despite its intensity, the wine remains beautifully harmonious thanks to its fresh undertone.
Wine and food
Alto Moncayo's rich style makes it ideal for hearty dishes. Think oven-baked leg of lamb, roasted ribeye, Iberico Secreto, slow-cooked beef, or game dishes. It also pairs beautifully with stews featuring bell peppers, mushrooms, or Mediterranean herbs. For a vegetarian option, grilled eggplant, lentil stew, or a rich risotto complement its full-bodied character perfectly.

The Australian superstar, winemaker Chris Ringland, who scores at Parker between 95 and 100/100 with his own wine in Barossa Valley (Australia), has also had a foothold on European soil for several years. In addition to his input on El Nido and Clio in Jumilla and La Atalaya in Almansa, he also vinifies on Alto Moncayo in Campo de Borja. It is no coincidence that he was consulted for this magnificent and unique project.
Bodegas Alto Moncayo is owned by Jorge Ordonez (the main importer of Spanish wines in the United States). The beautiful wines are based on old Grenache, a grape variety that Ringland is familiar with in South Australia. The Aquilon top wine is a super selection of the very best of the domain, and only a small amount available. The Alto Moncayo shows a sturdy yet elegant Garnacha with a lot of allure. In turn, Veraton shares the same style as his big brothers Aquilon and Alto Moncayo, albeit in a slightly more accessible version. It is almost incredible that this unique Grenache was previously mixed with other grape varieties in commercial blends. Once again a sample of top quality from fascinating Spain. The vineyards are among the oldest in the region, located on the slopes of the majestic Moncayo, from which very fine top wines are produced based on the Grenache grape. Power, sophistication and complexity, all this is confirmed year by year by wine critics who give rave reviews for these great wines
