Bodegas Alto Moncayo Campo de Borja D.O. Aquilon 2018 Red Wine – Fruity, balanced and full-bodied, this deep dark wine presents itself. Its intense bouquet is dominated by notes of plum, sour cherry, cassis and blackberry, spiced with a touch of vanilla and licorice. On the palate, the bold fruit and spice notes repeat; here they are framed by a lively freshness, juicy tannins and a very soft, full and harmonious body.

About Bodegas Alto Moncayo

The Bodegas Alto Moncayo winery is located in the Denominación de Origen Campo de Borja (DO, wine quality standard). In 2002, the winemakers started the project of producing the highest quality Garnacha wines from the oldest vineyards of the local Garnacha grape variety. This project has preserved true treasures that would otherwise have disappeared. At the foothills of the Moncayo, 100 hectares of "Garnacha de Monte" were planted several decades ago, which are now processed in the winery. Everything here revolves around perfecting the Garnacha grape. What is also done excellently: thanks to aging in new barriques for between 16 and 24 months, the wines mature into an incredibly full-bodied, dense and wonderfully fruity delight. The highest quality of Garnacha wines!

The Region

The northeastern Spanish region of Aragon encompasses the wide Ebro Valley and is dominated in the north by the Pyrenees, which supply the dry valley with water. Due to this location, the wines here show great potential. Small, excellent wineries with a strong focus on quality make Aragon, with its four DO zones Cariñena, Calatayud, Campo de Borja and Somontano, increasingly interesting for wine lovers. Red Garnacha and Tempranillo are mainly grown here.
