Hola Wine Friend! 
 
I am so pleased the new 2007 Alto Moncayo releases have just arrived.  Their "WOW" factor will enhance this Saturday's ALL SPANISH wine tasting. < Click here for the complete lineup.  Then click on each wine entry for background and tasting notes. 
 
Alto Moncayo wines are produced from declining, low yield, old bush vine garnacha grown high on the slopes of its namesake volcano in the Campo de Borja region of northeastern Spain.  Legendary Aussie winemaker Chris Ringland (by last count he had seven 100 point ratings of Barossa Shiraz), and famed importer Jorge Ordonez have partnered to craft these lusty and seductive wines.  Other projects include the El Nido (Clio) wines from Jumilla, and Mas Blau wines from Montsant.  These wines have been the model of consistency, and the most successful result of Old World tradition meeting modernity in Spain.  A taste of either the Veraton or Moncayo will help you understand why today Spain is at the forefront of fashion and trendiness in the world of gastronomy and wine.
