Alto Moncayo, Campo de Borja (Spain) Garnacha 2018

Feb 16, 2022

By Miranda Franco

 Bodegas Alto Moncayo was founded in 2002 with the aim of turning it into a world reference for Garnacha wines of the highest quality, crafted from some of the oldest native vine clones in the area.  The 2018 Veraton is produced exclusively with Garnacha grapes from vines planted in the 1970s and 1980s.  The bouquet exudes generous spice, smoke, and blue and black fruit.  Spice-laden black plum and cherries show on the dense palate and are framed with fresh acidity and supple tannins — somewhat reminiscent of a richer and spicier Pinot Noir.  It culminates with a rich, flavorful, and long finish.
