Frontonio 2021 Telescopico Garnacha (Valdejalon)
Equally pure, but a step up in richness, sweetness, and high-toned expression of the grape, this is balanced, focused and long. It exemplifies the “cool” aspect that separates Frontonio from other practitioners of the art of producing well-balanced wines in warm climates. Strawberries galore sprinkled with black pepper. The 2020 vintage is marked by a seasoning of Mazuelo – a combination increasingly favoured by Fernando to increase intrigue and refinement.
