Botijo Rojo

El Botijo is a limited production red wine, straight from a garage in Valdejalon (North East Spain) where Fernando Mora (MW) and Mario Lopez make wines with the absolute minimum of fuss. The Las Cellas vineyard is owned by Mario’s family, and was sold to the local cooperative for 40 years until Mario and Fernando decided to start tinkering in their garage. It’s named after the ancient clay drinking water container – still used today – to cool water in Spain’s hot, dry climate..

VALDEJALÓN | Vino de la Tierra Valdejalón is located in Aragon, west of the city of Zaragoza. The area has long been associated with quality wine, and it’s believed that viticulture here pre-dates Roman settlement. It shares the minerality of Calatayud with fruitiness of Campo de Borja - both areas sharing borders with the VT. 97% of the region is planted to Garnacha, many of which are 50-90 year old wines. Currently, there are only 2 cooperatives and the tiny Garage Wine project.
