Grape: Cribatinaja, Garnacha,Provechón, Robal, Macabeo
Vintage: 2022
Type: White

Influenced by the Iberian system, Moncayo and other mountain ranges, Valdejalón coutns with vineyards between 450 and 1030 meters high refreshed by the Cierzo wind, as well as a great variety of soils and some very old plots of Garnacha, Macabeo and other local varieties. Rainfall is scant, ranging from 200 to 500 l/m² per year. The prevailing wind is called the “Cierzo”, which blows for several days a year. Temperatures in spring and autumn are gentle and agreeable, ranging from 5 to 25º C. Winter temperatures are between -5 and 10º C, while summer temperatures range from 20 to 40º C. More than 3000 hours of sunshine per year.  Vibrant, sweet fruit, oozing with white pepper and very much at ease with itself, this wine
expresses purity and completeness throughout. This fascinating wine is a counterpart to the Palhete wines we offer from Madeira and Aphros in Portugal in that it is a co-fermentation of 70% white grapes (Albariño, Robal, Macabeo) and 30% black (Garnacha and Provechón aka
Bobal). The resulting wine (foot-trodden in concrete but aged in old barrels) is a sinuously smoky riff on the familiar Frontonio theme of light-footed, transparent, and
honest-to-goodness wines.
