Frontonio 2024 Microcosmico Garnacha ORGANIC
Since we first bought this wine, in the 2015 vintage, it has become ever more more refined, while holding onto its essential Aragon Garnacha expression. Fernando sometimes picks his grapes four weeks earlier than his neighbours, a daring step allowed by his bio-dynamic regime.

Notes from the Producer: This wine comes from different plots and perfectly reflects the terroir of Valdejalón. Luminous and soulful, it shows notes of red fruit, wet stone, and thyme on the nose. On the palate, it is agile and vibrant, with fine tannins and a delicious freshness, leading to a long and refined finish. Austere and sincere Garnacha that reflects the traditional Aragonese style of winemaking, the origin of the variety.
