Bodegas Frontonio

Valdejalón Garnacha and Macabeo from Spain's mineral-rich Aragón plateau.

Bodegas Frontonio operates in Valdejalón, a subregion of Aragón in northeastern Spain known for its continental climate and mineral-rich soils. The winery's portfolio centers on indigenous Spanish varieties: Garnacha and Macabeo, grapes that thrive in this demanding terroir. El Jardín de las Iguales Viñedo Historico Garnacha, the winery's flagship red, has earned recognition from Wine Spectator, Wine Advocate, Wine Enthusiast, and Decanter. Its sibling white, El Jardín de las Iguales Viñedo Historico Macabeo, demonstrates the region's capacity for structured whites. Las Alas de Frontonio, a Garnacha-Macabeo blend, rounds out the core range. These wines reflect the character of Valdejalón: high-altitude vineyards, diurnal temperature swings, and a focus on varietal expression over manipulation. Garnacha from this region tends toward red fruit, mineral tension, and moderate alcohol; Macabeo offers aromatic lift and acidity. The winery's work with these varieties positions it within Aragón's broader movement toward quality-focused, terroir-driven production.
