Botijo Rojo, Bodegas Frontonio 2024

Bursting with fresh red cherry and raspberry aromas, this Aragonese red has a lovely savoury edge - think herbs and a hint of peppery spice. It's all about juicy red fruit flavours with a refreshing zip of acidity and a subtle, earthy minerality. It comes from old Garnacha vines planted up high in Valdejalón, where the unique soils give the wine its character. Made organically, and aged in concrete to keep things bright, this is all about vibrant fruit and makes for a seriously drinkable wine.

This juicy, fruit-forward red is a corker with a plate of sausages and mash - proper comfort food for any day of the week.

Bodegas Frontonio is a winery spearheading a bit of a renaissance in Aragon. Founded by Fernando Mora MW, Mario López, and Francisco Latasa, their focus is on revitalizing the old Garnacha vineyards that proliferate round here. Their high-altitude, mineral-rich sites, coupled with organic viticulture and minimal intervention winemaking, yield vibrant, terroir-driven wines. From the approachable Botijo Rojo and Blanco to their complex single-vineyard wines, they're doing their best to bring more attention to this underappreciated corner of Spain.
