White dry
Frontonio “Telescópico Blanco” Valdejalón IGP 2023 is an expressive, complex and textural white wine from the Aragon region of Spain. It is produced by co-fermenting Macabeo, Garnacha Blanca and Viognier grapes. Frontonio classifies this wine as a V2, which in the producer’s hierarchy is equivalent to the level of a single vineyard’s “Premier Cru”.
The wine is light lemon in color. The aroma reveals lemon peel, peaches, white flowers, complemented by subtle smoky and mineral tones. The wine is concentrated, long, characterized by fresh acidity, medium weight and a creamy, smooth texture.
The grapes are fermented together, and the wine is stored for about six months in concrete tanks with yeast sediment, stirring them periodically. This method gives the wine more volume, creaminess and complexity, but helps preserve the freshness of the fruit and mineral character.
The producer classifies this wine as V2 – classified vineyard wine.
The name “Telescópico” – “telescopic” – symbolizes the character of a particular vineyard and its terroir revealed up close.
It is recommended to serve at a temperature of 10-12 °C. Goes well with fried or buttered fish, seafood, risotto, poultry, pasta with creamy sauces and soft cheeses.
This has blood oranges, dried herbs, hibiscus and dried berries on the nose. The palate is tightly wound, with a precise balance between fruit freshness and acidity. It has a fresh, saline profile that is very attractive. Long maceration. Drink or hold.
"Bodegas Frontonio" is a project by Master of Wine (MW) Fernando Morra, born from the desire to reveal the uniqueness of Aragon region wines. "Bodegas Frontonio" is located in the Aragon region, which encompasses appellations such as Valdejalon, Campo de Borja, Calatayud, and Somontano. Many people have barely heard of them, but it is believed that the 'Garnacha' variety (known as 'Grenache' in France) originated from these areas. Therefore, it is not surprising that in these appellations we can find many old 'Garnacha' vines. Fernando Morra initiated the creation of the "Mondo Garnacha" winemakers' group, whose goal is to preserve and nurture old vines, expressing the best qualities of 'Garnacha' wines. In the Valdejalon IGP appellation, the oldest surviving vines were planted in the 1890s! Luis Gutierrez (Robert Parker's Wine Advocate reviewer), reviewing 'Garnacha' wines from Aragon, Navarra, and several other areas around the "Frontonio" winery, wrote simply and unequivocally: "This time, Frontonio wines are the ones that show the most significant progress compared to previous vintages. Each year the wine gets better."
