Good to Know: One of the largest and leading producers in Spain's Campo de Borja region, the winery was founded in 2002 between a partnership of Jorge Ordonez, an Andalucian wine producer, Australian winemaker, Chris Ringland and another leading winery in the Campo de Borja region, Bodegas Borsao. The winery's vineyards total approximately 92 hectares, spanning around the the town of Borja. The vines sit at altitudes that range between 1600-2600ft (490-790m) above sea level, with mostly stony soils composed of limestone, marl and slate.

The Alto Moncayo Aquilon wine is a deep cherry red color, displaying a complex and intense mixture of toasted and mineral notes, along with hints of fruit jam. Additionally, it presents roasted notes reminiscent of coffee and toffee. In the mouth, it is full-bodied and powerful, exuding a meaty and vibrant quality. The wine showcases a great concentration of flavor and exceptional balance. The tannins are of remarkable quality, offering a sweet and embracing sensation. Overall, this wine encapsulates the true essence of the Garnacha grape variety.
