Description
Frontonio is the passion project of three friends; Fernando Mora MW, oenologist Mario López and international business lawyer Francisco Latasa from Zaragoza. The winery is named after Saint Frontonio, the Patron Saint of the village. Sheer determination and passion has meant that Frontonio has emerged as one of the most refreshing wine ventures in Aragón, both in terms of recovering old vines and driving Garnacha`s renaissance in the area. The vineyards are found at over 400 meters above sea level near Épila, on the left bank of the river Jalón, where clay-limestone soils prevail.
This terrific wine is a blend of Garnacha Tinta and Garnacha Peluda, often know as Lledoner Pelut in France, which is fermented in cement tanks and then aged in French oak. Cherry and redcurrant fruit dominate with underlyig hints of peppery spice and toasty oak. Lovely fresh acidity balances the medium weight fruit and keeps this silky smooth wine lively and interesting.

2020 ‘O Font’ Les Deux Cols, Vin de France
Grenache Blend
Les Deux Cols is a joint venture between Ireland's leading Rhone importer, Simon Tyrell and Charles Derain, one time Sommelier to Alain Ducasse at Le Louis XV in Paris. This Grenache Noir dominated blend is whole bunch and foot trodden, natural yeast fermented in concrete tanks and then matured in a mixture of old barriques and larger demi-muid barrels. Pale in the glass, this is fresh and easy with red fruits and a hint of spice. Hand harvesting takes place at least a week earlier than the neighbouring properties allowing for a fresher style, and all vineyards are either organic or in conversion with some biodynamic practices in use.
