Embark on a sensory journey with Bodegas Frontonio Supersónico Red, a wine that elegantly combines the rich heritage of Spanish viticulture with modern winemaking finesse.

Introducing Supersónico Red: A Masterpiece from Aragón’s Heights
Bodegas Frontonio Supersónico Red is an exquisite creation from the high-altitude vineyards of the Valdejalón region in Aragón, Spain. This wine is a brilliant representation of old-vine Garnacha, masterminded by the revered winemaker, Fernando Mora MW, alongside his talented team. The vineyard lies nestled at an extraordinary 1,030 meters above sea level, in a historic 2-hectare parcel named Las Frías, planted in the 1940s. These ancient vines, rooted in sandy-limestone and slate soils, are the guardians of a vintage known for its authentic mineral expression and vibrant freshness.
Bodegas Frontonio: A Visionary Winery
Founded in 2008 by Fernando Mora MW, winemaker Mario López, and lawyer Francisco Latasa, Bodegas Frontonio started as a humble garage project and blossomed into a renowned micro-winery. Situated in Épila, Zaragoza, within the IGP Valdejalón appellation, the team has an unwavering commitment to sustainable viticulture and minimal intervention practices. Each grape is harvested by hand, respecting the ancient bush vine formation, reminiscent of traditional Spanish en vaso training.
Crafting Supersónico Red: A Journey from Vine to Glass
Supersónico Red is meticulously crafted with minimal intervention philosophies. The primary red grape variety is Garnacha, commanding a 93% composition, complemented by 7% Macabeo, interplanted within the old vines. This combination introduces a remarkable saline freshness to the wine, enhancing its aromatic profile.
Fermented spontaneously with native yeasts, the wine undergoes a gentle maceration for over five weeks, followed by aging in large, neutral oak vessels known as foudres. This process ensures the preservation of pure fruit characteristics, bolstered by the distinct tension and elegance that Supersónico Red is celebrated for.
Tasting Notes: Elegance and Complexity in Harmonious Balance
The aromatic complexity of Supersónico Red is a standout feature, presenting layers of raspberries, wild red cherries, and cranberries, punctuated by herbal notes of bay leaf, geranium, and laurel. A vivid mineral backbone and a light scarlet appearance elevate the tasting experience, providing a signature freshness and liveliness on the palate. With a high acidity (pH 3.45, 5.55 g/L of acidity) and an alcohol content of 13.5%, this medium-bodied wine dances gracefully, offering a long, almost salty finish.
Critical Acclaim and Culinary Companions
Critics have embraced Supersónico Red, with James Suckling awarding it 94 points for its subtleties of fruit and floral elegance. This wine’s versatility shines at the dining table, pairing beautifully with game meats like duck and venison, hearty vegetable dishes, or aged Manchego cheese.
Supersónico Red is more than wine; it is an homage to the timeless marriage of tradition and artistry. It perfectly encapsulates the nuanced potential of high-altitude Garnacha, making it a beacon for Spanish vintners around the world.
Sustainability at Heart
Bodegas Frontonio’s dedication to sustainability extends beyond the vineyard. Their practices emphasize biodiversity, soil health, and organic farming, crafting wines that are both respectful of the environment and expressive of their terroir. With each bottle of Supersónico Red, you not only savor a remarkable wine but also support a legacy of environmentally conscious winemaking.
