Frontonio Valdejalon Garnacha Microcosmico 2024

$2299

Bodegas Frontonio is the Aragon project of Fernando Mora MW and Mario Lopez, working old-vine Garnacha in the under-the-radar Valdejalon region (an IGP rather than DO). Microcosmico is the entry to the range: 100% Garnacha from 60+ year-old vines on slate and clay at 650-700m, foot-trodden with around a quarter whole clusters, native-fermented and raised seven months in underground concrete vats. Mora calls it 'an austere and sincere Garnacha,' a deliberate move away from over-extracted styles toward something fresher and more transparent.

Robert Parker

"The 2023 Microcósmico Garnacha was produced with grapes from older vines grown on slopes with slate soils at 650 to 700 meters in altitude in the village of Jarque in the IGP Valdejalón. It fermented with indigenous yeasts and 20% to 25% whole clusters that were foot trodden, and it matured in underground concrete vats for seven months. It has a little more complexity and depth than the Botijo Rojo and is varietal and juicy, with fine tannins and a dry finish. It has only 12.5% alcohol, a pH of 3.21 and 5.9 grams of acidity."
