Alcañon
The Alcañon variety is one of our lesser known varieties but is 100% Aragonese, with some vineyards found in each of the three provinces of the region.
THE
GRAPE
Home to grapes such as the Grenache and Cariñena
that have travelled the world, the varied terrain of
Aragon with high mountains alongside desert-like
plains spurs care of small traditional treasures while
allowing for new varieties to adapt.
Cabernet Sauvignon
Around the world Cabernet Sauvignon is considered one of the finest grapes for the production of great reds that will keep well, as well as the queen of the so-called "improving" varieties.
Cariñena
The Cariñena grape is another of the few varieties typically native to the lower reaches of the Ribera del Ebro.
Garnacha
Aragon is the heartland of Garnacha. This is almost certainly the variety of grape that offers the most identity to Aragonese wine.
Gewurztraminer
Gewurztraminer, as the name suggests, originates in Tramin (Italy) and has found one of its very best homes in Aragon.
Macabeo
Known as Viura in other parts of Spain, the Macabeo variety is one of the native white varieties in Aragon and perfectly adapted to all the designations in the area.
Merlot
The versatility and elegance that comes through in both single varietal and blended wines ensures this grape is one of the most prolific around the world.
Moristel
The Moristel grape is another of the native varieties of Aragonese Somontano, known elsewhere as "Juan Ibañez" or "Miguel de Arcos".
Moscatel de Alejandria
The Alexandria Muscat, also known as "Muscat de Grano Gordo" or "Muscat de Málaga", is probably the queen of the white varieties used to produce sweet wines in Aragon.
Tempranillo
The environment in Aragon is also perfect for the production of quality wines from the most typical Spanish variety.
White Garnacha
White Garnacha is on the rise! Its vines have recovered and gradually increased in number everywhere and there are numerous examples of very old vineyards throughout the region.
