Bodegas Frontonio Psicodelico Mezcla 2022

Grape: Albariño, Robal, Macabeo, Garnacha, Provechón
Vintage: 2022
Type: White

This co-fermentation is a regional palhete style, blending white varieties albariño, robal, and macabeo with red grapes garnacha and provechón. Winemaker Fernando Mora sources fruit from old high-altitude bush vines in Valdejalón, rooted in clay and limestone soils. The blend is foot-trodden in concrete vats before undergoing a spontaneous native yeast fermentation with minimal cellar adjustments. Aged in neutral French oak, this cuvée captures an authentic and energetic mountain profile.

It pours a pale copper-orange hue, releasing a complex nose of wild raspberries, orange peel, sweet smoke, and wildflowers. A sleek, light-bodied frame pairs tart red currant flavors with a savory, texturally intriguing depth. A lively wave of mountain acidity runs through the center, keeping the fluid mouthfeel thoroughly refreshed. The red grape skins provide a gentle phenolic grip that structures the mid-palate cleanly. It finishes long, dry, and mouthwatering, leaving a distinct mineral trace.
