Alto Moncayo DO Campo de Borja, Spain

Bodegas Alto Moncayo is a winery located in the Campo de Borja D.O. It was founded in 2002 with the aim of turning it into a world reference for Garnacha wines of the highest quality, crafted from some of the oldest native vine clones in the area. The Garnacha grape is one of the varieties that best expresses its terroir. Thus, the Garnacha of Alto Moncayo is different from the rest of the Campo de Borja D.O area. This is due to the very strict selection made from the vineyards, the type of soil in which it is grown, the microclimate, and the age of the vines. Alto Moncayo Aquilón Alto Moncayo Aquilón is “The jewel in the Crown,” a selection of the best barrels from the best lots. The vines are 60 – 100 years old, and the selected highest quality grapes are placed into small stainless-steel tanks of 7 tons capacity. The must is basket pressed and fermentation is finished in new French and American oak where it completes the malolactic fermentation. Wine is aged in the barrels for 24 months before bottling. 2015 : 90 WS | 2014 : 95V, 94 WA, 92 WS, 91 WE
