Alto Moncayo Veraton Campo de Borja DO

The Alto Moncayo winery is a joint venture founded in 2002 by winemakers Jose Miguel San Martin, Jorge Ordonez, Dan Phillips, and the legend of Australian winemaking Chris Ringland. The winery is located in the town of Bulbuente, and the estate's vineyards stretch over 62 hectares around. The vineyards are situated in hilly terrain, between the Sierra del Moncayo mountains and the banks of the Ebro River. The climate here features cold winters and brief hot summers. Naturally, with such a sharply continental climate, the yield is quite low, and the healthiest and strongest vines are selected by nature itself. The soil of this area is also special — it consists of red clay and red slate, and due to its location in hilly terrain, it is very low in organic matter. The legendary Australian winemaker Chris Ringland works true magic with Garnacha grapes. His wines are rich, lively, and vibrant. One should not be afraid of the bright color of Alto Moncayo wines — the specific color is given by both the grape and the terroir of the Campo de Borja region.
