Frontonio Telescópico 2022
18.57₣ (Inc. VAT bot. 75 cl.) / Spain
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2022 Telescópico Garnacha · Garnacha Peluda · Mazuela is a blend from different vineyards in the villages of Alpartir, Inogés and Morata, with some new vineyards in 2022, all higher altitude (800-plus meters in elevation) and old; so, it's an improvement in the origin of the cuvée. It's bright, precise and fresh, produced with full clusters in concrete and matured mostly in oak foudre and 500-liter barrels for one year, which gives it some spiciness that I didn't see in other reds from the vintage. It's neatly balanced, with amplitude and complexity, with flowers, berries and herbs, even with citrus, and it has a medium-bodied palate. This overdelivers for the price. 13.219 bottles produced. It was bottled in July 2024.

Description
Frontonio Telescópico is a red wine made from a combination of indigenous varieties: Garnacha ( 46%), Garnacha Peluda ( 28%), Mazuela (24%) and a touch of Macabeo (2%). The grapes come from old vineyards, located in the villages of Alpartir and Morata, on slate and limestone soils.
Winemaking
Frontonio Telescópico is made in a traditional way, with a fermentation that includes 80% of whole bunches and a maceration of 40 days. The wine is then aged for four months in 500-litre barrels and large 2,500- and 3,000-litre foudres, giving it exceptional complexity and balance. Its production process follows a sustainable approach and conversion to organic farming. The result is a wine with moderate alcohol content (13.5%) and remarkable freshness and acidity.
Taste
Frontonio Telescópico stands out for its elegant and floral aromatic profile, with notes of cherry, rose petals and wild oregano. On the palate, it is fresh and direct, with a fleshy texture and energetic but well-integrated tannins. The citrus freshness adds liveliness, while the balance between fruit and floral notes makes it particularly flavoursome. The wine has a remarkable persistence and there is a delicate harmony between its structure and its umami flavour.
