Robert Parker

The light red 2021 Psicodélico was produced with a field blend of late-ripening local grape varieties, where at least 70% of the grapes are white (mostly Macabeo) and the rest an old field blend of seven or eight varieties like Provechón (Bobal), Robal, Cribatinaja and Garnacha that were all harvested and fermented together. It's from a plot called La Sotera, with many different expositions and altitudes, an impossible slope. It fermented with 100% full clusters and indigenous yeasts in concrete with a 70+-day maceration, and it matured in neutral 30- and 500-liter oak barrels for 12 months. It's pale and bright, with a very expressive nose of blue flowers and fruit, a little exotic/wild, different and very attractive. It has only 12.5% alcohol and more balance, freshness and acidity parameters than in previous vintages—a pH 3.26 and acidity of 6.2—with a sensation of citrus freshness, very tasty and with very fine tannins. Lots of complexity and nuance here. The vineyard is beautiful, and so is the wine. 2,166 bottles were filled in October 2022.

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.
