Aragón is an inland region of northeastern Spain, bordered by France to the north and neighboring wine regions like Rioja and Catalonia. It features a rugged, mountainous landscape shaped by the Pyrenees in the north and the Ebro River running through its center, creating a range of altitudes and microclimates ideal for viticulture. The region’s hot, dry climate and stony, well-drained soils are especially well-suited to growing hardy red grape varieties. Aragón is known for bold, expressive wines, particularly from Garnacha (Grenache), which is believed to have originated here. The region is home to four main DOs: Cariñena, Campo de Borja, Calatayud, and Somontano. These appellations produce rich, fruit-forward reds from old-vine Garnacha, as well as structured blends that include Tempranillo, Syrah, and Cabernet Sauvignon. Somontano, in the cooler foothills of the Pyrenees, is also known for its fresh whites and experimentation with international varieties. With a mix of tradition and modern winemaking, Aragón offers some of Spain’s most characterful and underrated wines.
