Alto Moncayo

Bodegas Alto Moncayo is a renowned winery from Aragon and is considered one of the leading references for Garnacha from northeastern Spain . The house has achieved international recognition by producing wines that combine power, concentration, and provenance.

The origin of Alto Moncayo

Alto Moncayo is located in Campo de Borja , a region known for its ancient Garnacha vines and extreme climate. Its proximity to Mount Moncayo provides cooling breezes, while its sun-drenched location guarantees ripeness.

This combination of altitude, wind and temperature differences plays a crucial role in the balance of the wines.

Vineyards and soil

The vineyards of Alto Moncayo are situated at a considerable altitude and consist largely of old Garnacha vines. The soils are poor and diverse, with slate, limestone, and clay as the main components. Low yields are the rule rather than the exception here, contributing to intensity and structure.

Grape and style

Alto Moncayo works almost exclusively with Garnacha , a grape that develops a powerful yet nuanced expression in Campo de Borja. The house's style is characterized by concentration, ripe fruit, and clear structure, without losing balance.

The wines demonstrate how Garnacha can be both intense and refined, provided it is sourced from old vines and vinified with precision.

Veraton

Veraton is one of Alto Moncayo's most famous wines and a clear expression of Garnacha from old vineyards. This wine combines depth and power with a balanced structure and a long finish, making it widely appreciated by lovers of characterful Spanish red wines.

Other cuvées

Besides Veraton, Alto Moncayo also produces more concentrated wines, sourced from even older vines and with additional selection in the vineyard. These cuvées underscore the winery's high level of excellence, yet share the same philosophy of provenance, low yields, and precision.

Vinification and maturation

The grapes are harvested by hand and rigorously selected. Vinification and aging are focused on supporting the grape and the terroir. Wood is deliberately used to add structure and complexity, without overpowering the Garnacha character.

Who is Alto Moncayo interesting for?

Alto Moncayo particularly appeals to enthusiasts who:

• love strong Spanish red wine
• interested in old Garnacha vines
• looking for wines with depth and structure

The wines combine intensity with balance and clearly show their origins.
