Description
 
San José De Aguarón is based in the Cariñena DO in the Autonomous Community of Aragón. It is a co-operative of local farmers, founded in 1955 with 155 members. The Cariñena DO is one of the oldest protected wine regions in Europe, the DO having been created in 1932. Cariñena is also widely accepted as the birthplace of the grape variety with the same name, better known around the world as Carignan. For many centuries the Aguarón region, which encompasses what is known today as Cariñena, was producing wines of such high quality that the royal wine for King Carlos IV was sourced here. The Aguarón region became a major source of grapes to the French wine industry in the 1860s, after Phylloxera had started its destruction of the French vineyards. Many French merchants started moving south and renting wineries and vineyards in order to supply the enormous demand for grapes and wine across the border.

Fresh citrus, honeysuckle and tropical fruits on the delicately scented nose and a healthy dose of pineapple in the mouth. Light-bodied with a refreshing touch of bitter pear skin, and a delicately spicy finish
