Alto Moncayo, Garnache DOCa

One of Spain's finest estates, the still under-the-radar Bodegas Alto Moncayo is a joint venture of Dan Phillips, Jorge Ordoñez, Chris Ringland, Jose Miguel San Martin, Bodegas Borsao and others. Five generations of vignerons have farmed over 210 acres of primarily old vine Grenache at Alto Moncayo, a wine that is produced from incredibly low yields of 500 grams of grape bunches per vine. It is located in the town of Bulbuente (Zaragoza) Spain and the Denominacion Campo de Borja. The winery possesses very unique soils of red clay mixed with red slate. The youngest vines of Alto Moncayo are 35 years old and the oldest vineyards are over 90 years old. Their focus is exclusively on Garnacha.
