WINE DESCRIPTION

Bodegas Frontonio Microcósmico Garnacha is a red wine produced by Bodegas Frontonio in Spain. The winery is run by the Spanish Master of Wine Fernando Morra. This wine is made from Garnacha grapes grown in the high-altitude vineyards of Valdejalón, which are known for their unique terroir and relatively cool conditions for Garnacha. The winemaking process involves careful selection of the grapes, followed by pressing before the end of fermentation to limit tannic extraction and aging in oak barrels to enhance the wine's complexity and depth. The resulting wine is a beautiful expression of Garnacha, with a rich and full-bodied style that showcases the grape's unique character. With its exceptional quality and perfumed flavor profile, Bodegas Frontonio Microcósmico Garnacha is a must-try for any wine enthusiast.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This Garnacha from Bodegas Frontonio showcases the best of Spanish winemaking with this modern take on Grenache that is more in the style of Pinot Noir than the Grenache wines of southern Spain.On the nose, aromas of ripe red berries are met with subtle notes of rosemary and hints of graphite. On the palate, it is full-bodied and velvety with a juicy red fruit character, soft tannins, and a lingering finish. Enjoy this wine now or cellar for up to 10 years to enjoy its full potential.
