Bodegas Frontonio was founded by Master of Wine Fernando Mora and Mario López in the rugged, high-altitude Valdejalón area of Aragón in northern Spain. The project is dedicated to rescuing historic old bush vines, many of them long abandoned, planted on steep mountain slopes. The vines are farmed organically and without irrigation, and the winemaking is low-intervention, aimed at capturing the freshness these cool, high sites can deliver.

"Supersónico" comes from old-vine Garnacha grown above 800 meters on slate, quartz, and limestone. The 2022 fermented spontaneously in concrete with a portion of whole clusters, then aged in a mix of concrete, neutral wooden casks, and large French oak foudres. The altitude preserves remarkable lift, giving a Garnacha that feels light on its feet without losing depth.

Critical Acclaim:

95 Points, Wine Advocate:

"The pale and ethereal 2022 Supersonico is a surprise that goes beyond the character of the year. It’s from an old vineyard (now certified organic) at 1,030 meters in altitude on gray slate soils close to Calatayud, a could place that delivers wines with great finesse and elegance. It fermented with 100% full clusters in oak vats with indigenous yeasts and had a long maceration, then it matured in oak foudres. It’s very tasty, with berries, herbs, even bay leaf, and has tension, fine tannins and a supple, almost salty finish. This plot has some 8% to 10% Macabeo white intermixed with the Garnacha." -Luis Gutiérrez
