Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Tasted next to the 2020, the 2021 Supersónico is a fresh Garnacha from an old vineyard at 1,030 meters in altitude on slate soils close to Calatayud that is now in conversion to organic farming. The grapes were handpicked on September 28, fermented with 100% full clusters in oak vats with indigenous yeasts, and it matured in used 500-liter barrels and 2,500-liter oak foudres. The wine finished at 13.5% alcohol and with mellow acidity and freshness. It's subtle and serious, with flowers and herbs and is elegant more than powerful. There's a lot more grip in the tannins here, more energy and a nice balance that should make it age nicely. 8,742 bottles were filled in March 2023.

Description
Frontonio Supersónico is a red wine that embodies tradition and respect for the natural environment. It is made mainly from Garnacha Tinta ( 93%) and a small percentage of Macabeo (7%), sourced from vineyards located at an altitude of 1,030 metres in the Valdejalón region of Aragón. These vineyards, over 80 years old, are sustainably farmed on slate and sandy soils, with a 15% north-facing slope.
Winemaking
The grapes are harvested by hand in October and transported in small 18 kg boxes to preserve their integrity. Vinification includes fermentation with indigenous yeasts and a prolonged maceration of 43 to 50 days. The wine is then aged for 12 months in 2,500-litre oak foudres and 500-litre used barrels. Production is limited, with approximately 8,500 bottles per year, reflecting its artisanal character.
Taste
Frontonio Supersónico stands out for its fresh and energetic profile, combining elegance and vitality. In the glass, it has a bright cherry red colour with violet reflections. On the nose, it is a very aromatic wine, with a rich combination of red fruits such as redcurrants and ripe cherries, together with floral notes of violets and Mediterranean herbs such as thyme and laurel. On the palate, it offers a balanced structure with refined tannins and a vibrant acidity that gives it great freshness. Despite its lightness, it is a persistent wine, with a long and subtly mineral finish. The combination of its freshness and complexity makes it an ideal choice to accompany grilled meats, spicy stews or baked dishes with aromatic herbs. This wine has excellent ageing potential, which will allow its elegance and structure to evolve favourably over time.
