Borsao Garnacha

Borsao Garnacha

Wine Description

This wine shows all the varietal character of the Garnacha from Campo de Borja. Sourced from small parcels in the Tabuenca, Borja, and Pozuelo vineyards, it expresses the essence of Borsao.

Located between the Sierra de Moncayo mountain range and the Ebro River valley, this historic region has produced wine since the late 12th century. The continental climate is mitigated by the “cierzo” wind that cools the vineyards nightly.

Acclaim
“A vibrant nose, full of dark cherries, plums, roasted Mediterranean herbs and spices. It’s medium- to full-bodied with fine-grained, fruit-loaded tannins and a fruity and floral finish. Lovely now.”
— James Suckling, Sep 2022
