Viña Borgia Macabeo BIB 3L
Wine Description
This wine expresses the bright freshness Campo de Borja can produce.
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
