El Botijo Rojo VT Valdejalón
Botijo Rojo from Bodegas Frontonio is a micro wine named after the earthenware drinking jug that kept the water cold and quenched the thirst of farmers on hot summer days. Elaborated in old Garnacha vineyards but vinified in a young way, meaning it is fermented in stainless steel tanks and is not aged in barrels.
Botijo Rojo shows the youth and fruitiness of the variety, without over ripeness or wood. It is a sweet, fresh and easy-to-drink wine.

Interesting notes |
Limited production, micro wine straight from a garage in Valdejalón (North East Spain) where Fernando Mora and Mario López make wines with the absolute minimum of fuss. It’s named after the ancient clay drinking water container -still used by growers to day- cooling water in Spain’s hot, dry climate. |
