THE STORY
“Bodegas Alto Moncayo is located in the Campo de Borja region of Spain. The vineyard sits atop very unique soils of red clay mixed with red slate. Because of its hillside location the soils are very poor in organic matter and shallow. A few sites have calcareous soils.
The main varietals grown at Bodegas Alto Moncayo are Garnacha and Tempranillo. Australian winemaker, Chris Ringland leads the winemaking team”

Alto Moncayo Aquilon 2005
"The 2005 Aquilon has a splendid perfume of slate, violets, and cherry compote. There is beautiful integration of oak, tannin, and acidity, a smooth texture, layers of flavor, and exceptional length. There is enough structure to support 6-8 years of cellaring and it will provide pleasure through 2030"

Alto Moncayo Veraton 2007
Opaque violet. Sexy aromas of red and dark berries, sandalwood, spice cake and fresh rose. Spicy, concentrated raspberry and blackberry flavors are given spine by zesty minerals and pick up a smoky quality with air. Impressively lively for such a rich wine, with strong finishing spiciness and lingering notes of licorice and red berries.

Alto Moncayo Garnacha 2007
Deep, bright ruby. Complex bouquet offers scents of blueberry, boysenberry, cola, dark chocolate and mace. Broad, sweet dark berry flavors display liqueur-like depth and power and are nicely framed by velvety tannins. A tangy mineral note gains strength with air and adds vivacity to the long, sweet, spicy finish. I'd drink this alluring wine on the young side for its exuberant fruit character. 100% garnacha

Bodegas Y Vinedos Valderiz Senorio De Valdehermoso Roble 2005
Valdehermoso Roble is a red wine that clearly embodies the varietal characteristics, with intense aromas of very ripe wild fruits mingled harmoniously with spicy and subtle toasty aromas. In the mouth it is very intense but subtle, with a good structure based on sweet tannins.

Dominio De Tares Baltos 2006
The 2006 Baltos is dark ruby-colored with a nose of earth, mineral, pencil lead, and red and black cherry. Ripe, balanced, spicy, and smooth-textured, this elegant Bierzo has the potential to evolve for 1-2 years and will provide pleasure through 2015.
