Tasted next to the 2020, the 2021 Supersónico is a fresh Garnacha from an old vineyard at 1,030 meters in altitude on slate soils close to Calatayud that is now in conversion to organic farming. The grapes were handpicked on September 28, fermented with 100% full clusters in oak vats with indigenous yeasts, and it matured in used 500-liter barrels and 2,500-liter oak foudres. The wine finished at 13.5% alcohol and with mellow acidity and freshness. It's subtle and serious, with flowers and herbs and is elegant more than powerful. There's a lot more grip in the tannins here, more energy and a nice balance that should make it age nicely. 8,742 bottles were filled in March 2023.
Bodegas Frontonio was created in 2008 by three friends from Aragón, Fernando Mora, aspirant Master of Wine, Mario López, oenologist from Bodegas Borsao, and Francisco Latasa, lawyer and international trade expert. The aim of Bodegas Frontonio is to dignify the area of Valdejalón and its vineyards, mainly planted with old Grenache, and with a continental-Mediterranean climate. In total, they directly manage around 50 hectares, with organic certification since 2017. Most part of the vineyards are located in the surroundings of Épila. They have different ages, exposures, altitudes and soil types. The climate is continental-Mediterranean with scarce rainfall (200-500 l/m2/year), 300 hours of sun per year, and days with a lot of wind, also called "Cierzo". Currently, Bodegas Frontonio makes garage wines in the back room of a small winery of bulk wines. They process takes place with minimum intervention, plot by plot. As a result, we can find excellent wines, authentic and with a lot of character.
