About Bodegas Frontonio
Founded by Fernando Mora MW and Mario López, Bodegas Frontonio is a beacon of innovation and tradition. Nestled in the Valdejalón region of Aragón, this boutique winery operates from a 200-year-old house, ingeniously optimized with an underground cave to enable gravity-fed grape processing. This setting is ideal for the production and aging of their expressive wines.
Philosophy and Practices
The philosophy at Frontonio is as inspiring as its wines, with a focus on minimal intervention and organic practices. The duo behind the winery celebrates the unique potential of Aragón’s ancient vineyards—many vine parcels are over 50 years old, nestled in high-altitude sites ranging from 500 to 1030 meters above sea level. These lofty environments bestow each grape with a vivid freshness, rich minerality, and intricate complexity.
Winemaking Techniques
Telescópico Garnacha showcases artisanal winemaking at its finest. Grapes undergo spontaneous fermentation with native yeasts in cement tanks without any commercial yeast interference. The extended five-week maceration period enhances the wine’s depth without overwhelming elegance. Subsequent maturation in large oak foudres and smaller barrels for approximately 13 months ensures subdued oak influence, allowing the wine’s pure fruit character and terroir to shine.
Tasting Notes
Telescópico Garnacha presents a medium ruby hue underscored by vibrant youthfulness. Aromas of red fruits like cherry and raspberry are elegantly intertwined with rose petal and subtle spice notes. The palate offers fresh acidity, complemented by ripe red fruit flavors, smooth tannins, and an elegant textural lift. Its minerality and long finish make it a standout choice for wine enthusiasts.
Food Pairings
This wine pairs beautifully with a variety of dishes, from grilled lamb and roasted poultry to vegetarian dishes featuring earthy elements like mushrooms and root vegetables. Whether slightly chilled or decanted to accompany richer fare, Telescópico Garnacha is versatile enough to enhance any culinary experience.
The Terroir
Valdejalón’s unique terroir delivers an inimitable character to the Telescópico Garnacha. On slate and clay-limestone soils, the Garnacha vines yield a medium-bodied wine marked by finesse and freshness. The continental climate and high altitudes preserve its acidity and aromatic intensity, offering wine enthusiasts a true taste of the region.
Why Choose Telescópico Garnacha?
For discerning palates seeking a high-quality expression of modern Spanish viticulture, Telescópico Garnacha represents the nexus of tradition and innovation. With its balance, complexity, and compelling narrative of sustainability, it is a testament to Bodegas Frontonio’s artistry and vision in winemaking.
