SBF-SUG20

Frontonio 2020 Supersonico Garnacha (Valdejalon)

This selection hails from a single, windy vineyard of old vines at 1000 meters elevation. The addition of some stems adds structure to the expected berry purity. It was aged briefly in 2500 l. foudres and some used 300 liter French barriques. Wild and suave at the same time, this offers another window into the miracle of Valdejalón Garnacha.

Notes from the Producer: The freshness of the Garnacha to its full extent. Growing at 1.030 meters height provides grapes that offer a wine with pale cinnabar red colour. Redcurrant, violet flower, bay leaf and mineral hints. Refreshing, airy and citrus. Impressive tannin elegance and endless round and floral length.
