2023 Bodegas Frontonio Microcosmico Valdejalon Single Estate Garnacha

Old-vine Garnacha from Aragón’s Valdejalón slopes: wild raspberry, thyme and slate minerality converge in an organic red with vivid clarity and elegant restraint.

Nose: A swirl of wild strawberry and sour cherry rises first, followed by crushed granite, dry laurel leaf and a hint of white pepper.

Palate: Medium-bodied and lithe, this wine brings juicy red fruit, brisk acidity and slate-driven minerality with fine chalky tannins carrying the mid-palate.

Finish: Crisp and clean, the finish echoes cherry skin and herbs, while a mineral thread lingers and invites another sip.

Serve with herb-roasted lamb, grilled mushrooms with thyme, or a board of aged Manchego and piquillo peppers.
