Calatayud
Calatayud vineyards are planted on limestone soils, composed of mountain scree and red clay. The continental climate generates a wide daily temperature range and relatively moderate rainfall, resulting in water stress that favors grape quality. The work of producers such as Bodegas San Alejandro and Bodegas Claraval enables the full expression of the terroir in quality Calatayud wines.
The terroir ofCalatayud wines enables the composition of its red wines from grape varieties including Grenache (Garnacha Tinto), Tempranillo, Maccabeu, Monastrell, Mazuela, Merlot and Syrah. Calatayud white wines are made from Macabeu, Malvasia, Moscatel de Alejandria, Garnacha Blanca and Chardonnay.

3.9/5 (7 reviews)
92/100 James Suckling
"Aromas of plums, crushed berries, dried thyme, flowers, cloves and baking spices. Full-bodied, with smooth tannins. Round and velvety. Some cocoa powder on the firm finish. Best after 2022. (James Suckling 2021)

93/100 James Suckling
"The Garnacha 2018 Albada red was produced with grapes from old vines and aged in contact with lees for seven months. It has an approachable aromatic profile, with sweet fruit and polished tannins. It is easy to drink and representative of the grape variety and region. It's powerful but retains its balance and elegance."
Bodega San Gregorio - Loma Gorda 2015
3.7/5 (22 reviews)
93/100 James Suckling
"It's quite discreet on the nose, with notes of caramel and cocoa powder, but has great power and structure on the palate. The dry tannins have a long persistence on the finish." (James Suckling)
Bodega San Gregorio - Las Martas 2016
3.8/5 (4 reviews)
93/100 James Suckling
"Intense aromas of candied citrus fruit, cherry and pomegranate. A medium-bodied, juicy wine with superb balance between richness and freshness, and supple tannins that lengthen the finish towards the horizon." (James Suckling) ¡ Ay, caramba!
Bodegas y Vinedos del Jalon - Picos Pardos 2014
3.6/5 (11 reviews)
A blend of old Grenache (40 years) and Syrah vines, Picos Pardos reveals intense fruity aromas with a subtle hint of spice brought out by controlled ageing. The palate is structured by soft, well-balanced tannins. Excellent value for money, that's for sure!
Pagos de Familia Langa - Pieza el Caidero 2008
3.9/5 (33 reviews)
Rating: Robert Parker 91/100
"The 2008 edition of Pieza el Caldero is composed of 96% Aragon and 4% Grenache, over 70 years old. It was aged for 12 months in American oak barrels before bottling without filtration. Slightly less exuberant than the Pieza el Coll (but also a little more complex), it offers greater density and structure, with ripe, succulent fruit. It should evolve for 1-2 years, and give great pleasure through 2018" (Wine Advocate - Robert Parker).
Pagos de Familia Langa - Real Aragon Garnacha Centenaria 2008
3.7/5 (14 reviews)
Rating: Robert Parker 91/100
"The 2008 Real de Aragon Garnacha Centenaria was produced from vines over 80 years old and spent 12 months in American oak barrels. Aromas of black fruit, cigar box, leather and lavender make up an expressive nose, for an opulent, complex and full-bodied Grenache. Give it 1-2 years to fully develop, drinking through 2018." (Wine Advocate - Robert Parker)
Bodegas San Alejandro - Las Rocas Garnacha 2009
2.8/5 (12 reviews)
Rating: Robert Parker 90/100
"Las Rocas 2009 is a 100% Grenache from 80-year-old DO Calatayud vines, 25% of which are aged in wood. A ripe wine, with savory aromas, that should win unanimous praise. It's a sure value that will provide pleasure over the next 5 years". (The Wine Advocate - Robert Parker)
Bodegas San Alejandro - Las Rocas Garnacha Vinas Viejas 2007
4.2/5 (6 reviews)
New vintage, 2006 rated: Robert Parker 91/100
Las Rocas Garnacha Vinas Viejas (Grenache Vieilles Vignes) shines with the panache and typicity of old Grenache vines, sometimes more than a hundred years old, which give it a complex, mineral bouquet, with notes of ripe fruit and spices. A wine that gains in structure and complexity thanks to 12 months' ageing in oak barrels. A 2007 vintage not to be missed!
Bodegas San Alejandro - Las Rocas Rosado 2008
5/5 (1 review)
This delicious rosé comes 100% from the bodega's favorite grape variety, Grenache Noir. Harvested at full maturity, Las Rocas Rosado is fresh, fruity and intense, both in color and nose. It reveals notes of strawberry and raspberry, typical of Grenache in these latitudes. A well-made, all-purpose wine that's a worthy accompaniment to most summer dishes... A sure bet!
Bodegas San Alejandro - Las Rocas Blanco 2008
Las Rocas Blanco is one of Bodegas San Alejandro's flagship wines, made from 100% Spanish maccabeo grapes, which find an ideal terroir of expression on the Aragonese hillsides of the Calatayud appellation. With its remarkable aromatic intensity and well-balanced alcoholic strength and acidity, this is a fresh, pleasant, sun-drenched wine to drink now, in its prime.
