2022 Bodegas Alto Moncayo Veraton

Around 18,000 bottles are produced annually. An intoxicating bouquet with notes of ripe red berries, anise, mocha, and tantalizing fresh flowers. Smooth and sweet on the palate, then more structured in the mid-palate, with deep, mineral accents and dried strawberry and cherry liqueur flavors. The taste is particularly complex, full of dark ripe fruit (plums and berries), spices, and chocolate. All this fruit power is supported by fresh acidity and juicy ripe tannins. Takes a spirited turn with a long, juicy finish. Elegance and power characterize this Grenache/Garnacha wine. Excellent value for money and one of the highest-rated wines on Vivino year after year.

ABOUT ALTO MONCAYO

Bodegas Alto Moncayo is a winery located in the Campo de Borja Denominación de Origen (DO) area. It was founded in 2002 with the aim of becoming a global reference for Garnacha wines of the highest quality, made from indigenous grape varieties. The bodega is situated in the highest part of the town of Borja, approximately 500 meters above sea level. Due to the proximity of Mount Moncayo, the climate here is particularly cool and dry continental. The indigenous Garnacha grapes of Alto Moncayo, together with the microclimate to which they are exposed, the soil type, the orientation, and the professional treatment, form the authentic indigenous terroir—an interaction that produces wines that are unique and distinctive in the world. The ancient Garnacha varieties are found on the foothills of the Glacis, in the mountains of Ainzón, Fuendejalón, and Tabuenca. These are very stony, with light additions of limestone, marl, dolomite, quartzite, and slate. These are highly permeable soils that allow water to seep through and be retained in the deeper clay layers. Read more in the Tab: Winery.
