ALTO MONCAYO
ALTO MONCAYO
Alto Moncayo is the winery’s flagship wine. Another Garnacha varietal wine, from 40 to 70 years old vines and aged in new barrels for 20 months. Remarkably complex on the nose, with toasted notes and balsamic and black fruit aromas, and very well-structured in the mouth.
Additional information
| Variety | 100% Garnacha |
|---|---|
| Garnacha | 40 to 70 years old vines located at an elevation of around 550 meters above sea level in Borja and up to 850 meters in the Tabuenca area. Soils are mainly red clay mixed with sandstones in Tabuenca and gravels and caillous at lower altitudes in Borja area. The vines are trained in the vaso system and undergo vigorous canopy management and green harvest during the maturation process. |
| Elaboration | Vinification process begins in the vineyard where only the most perfectly mature bunches are selected. The fully matured bunches are harvested into small boxes to prevent crushing and taken to triage tables at the winery. The selected grapes are placed into small stainless-steel tanks with a capacity between 7 to 8 tons. The must is then gently basket pressed. The wine is aged for 20 months in new French and American oak barrels. |
| Tasting notes | Remarkably complex on the nose, with black fruit and balsamic aromas pleasantly toasted and with a certain rustic character. Well-structured in the mouth, succulent, with pleasant tannins which are emphasized by the contribution of quality wood. Powerful and silky. |
| Drinking temperature | 14ºC – 16ºC |
| Open and decant | 40 minutes before serving. |
