2021 Bodegas Alto Moncayo Veraton

Around 18,000 bottles are produced annually. An intoxicating bouquet with notes of ripe red berries, anise, mocha, and vibrant fresh flowers. Smooth and sweet on the entry, then more structured in the middle, with deep, mineral accents of dried strawberry and cherry liqueur flavors. The palate is exceptionally complex, full of dark, ripe fruit (plums and berries), spices, and chocolate. All this fruity intensity is supported by fresh acidity and juicy, ripe tannins. It takes a spicy turn with a long, juicy finish. Elegance and power define this Grenache/Garnacha wine. Excellent value for money and year after year one of the highest-rated wines on Vivino.

ABOUT ALTO MONCAYO

Bodegas Alto Moncayo is a winery located in the Campo de Borja Denominación de Origen (DO, Wine Quality Standard) area. It was founded in 2002 with the aim of becoming a global benchmark for top-quality Garnacha wines made from indigenous grape varieties. The winery is situated in the highest part of the town of Borja, approximately 500 meters above sea level. Due to its proximity to Mount Moncayo, the climate here is particularly cool and dry, continental. The indigenous Garnacha grapes of Alto Moncayo, together with the microclimate to which they are exposed, the soil type, the orientation, and the professional handling, form the authentic indigenous terroir, an interaction that produces wines that are unique and distinctive worldwide. The ancient Garnacha varieties are found in the foothills of the Glacis, the mountains of Ainzón, Fuendejalón, and Tabuenca. These are very stony, with slight additions of limestone, marl, dolomite, quartzite, and slate. These are highly permeable soils that allow water to seep into and retain water in the deeper clay layers. Read more in the Winery tab.
