"Fernando Mora MW and Mario L¢pez make this wine from a single vineyard with an average age of 80 years. A field blend of mostly Garnacha and some Macabeo, it is intensely aromatic with pretty red cherries and thyme. A redcurrant and rhubarb core leads to a graphite, flinty finish. The vines are grown on slate and quartz, giving this individual wine an indelible energy."

"The 2020 Las Alas de Frontonio La Tejera wants to be a light and fresh Garnacha that combines the character from the soils with attractive aromas of aromatic herbs. It's the result of fermenting the full clusters of an old plot on slate, clay and quartzite soils in concrete with selected yeasts and then matured in foudre for 14 months. It has moderate ripeness and alcohol (13.5%) while retaining good freshness and acidity. It has flowers (dry rose petals), citrus and tons of aromatic and Mediterranean herbs. It's a little rounder than the 2021 I tasted next to it (a constant when comparing the 2020s with 2021s), with rounder tannins and a gentler mouthfeel. 4,531 bottles produced. It was bottled in March 2022."
