Alto Moncayo

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
