Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
My favorite wine after the ones from El Jardín de las Iguales comes from a very nice plot of old vines on slate soils with a vein of white stones, rich in quartzite and with a majority of Garnacha (there are some other scattered vines of different varieties). The floral and elegant 2022 Las Alas de Frontonio La Tejera comes from soil with some clay; and in the past, they must have used that clay to make roof tiles, and that's why the place is named the 'roof-tile workshop' (la tejera). This is spectacular, even in a challenging year, when the wine keeps the poise and elegance, complexity, flowers and citrus. It's herbal, bright and textured, with an ethereal quality but serious and with inner energy and light. The tannins are very fine and elegant. I found this every bit as good as the 2021. The parameters are great; 13.5% alcohol, pH of 3.13 and 6.06 grams of acidity. 3,977 bottles produced. It was bottled in July 2024.

Description
Las Alas de Frontonio La Tejera is a wine that combines Garnacha and Macabeo from a 1.4 hectare vineyard located in the Alpartir area, at an altitude of 640 metres.

Winemaking
The grapes are harvested by hand and fermented with whole bunches using indigenous yeasts. The wine is then aged for 14 months in oak foudres, which gives it a unique complexity.

Wings of Frontonio La Tejera is distinguished by its freshness and pronounced aromatic profile. On the nose, spicy and floral notes stand out, accompanied by kumquat and a hint of stone.
