Bodegas Borsao

Brand Description

Bodegas Borsao is located in the D.O. of Campo de Borja. Borsao originated as a brand in 1958 when the cooperative of Borja was founded.  In 2001, the cooperatives Ponzuelo and Tabuenca joined Borja, and Bodegas Borsao S.A. was established, bringing reform and a new sense of prestige to the winemaking practices of the group.  The mission of Bodegas Borsao is to establish their wines as the benchmark for premium Garnacha wines around the world.

Location of Vineyard

Campo de Borja D.O. is located in the Aragon region,  nestled against the Pyrenées Mountains. Bodegas  Borsao  stretches  over  2,260  hectares  belonging  to  some  375  vine-growers. The  hillsides  of  the  Moncayo shelter  the  vineyards  located  between  350  and  800  metres  of  altitude, regulating  cold,  heat  and  moderating  the  effects  of  the  North-west  'Cierzo', or wind. This region is historically and geographically conducive to growing Garnacha, which makes up 60% of the vineyards. Other varietals include, Syrah, Tempranillo, Cabernet  Sauvignon, and minimal amounts of Mazuela,  Macabeo,  and Chardonnay.

Winemaking Philosophy

Winemaking techniques aim to preserve the characteristics of Garnacha from the region at all price points and quality levels. Harvest  is  carried  out  manually  in key  vineyards, and transported  in  20-kg  cases. The winery  uses  a  significant  1  million  frigories  cooling  capacity to  preserve  the  characteristics  of  the  fruit. Oak is used moderately to tame and add complexity to the wines, rather than impose its presence on them. The use of oak is adapted to the final style of the wine: different origins, both new and used wood and different sizes help to round up the expression of our wines.

Acclaim
“Cherry red in the glass, this wine has aromas of raspberry, vanilla and sage leaf. It is soft in the mouth and offers touches of baking spices and vanilla mingling with black ­ cherry, caramel and lavender. This easy-drinking has soft tannins and a lingering hint of milk chocolate.” – (Best Buy) — acclaim for 2022 Viña Borgia Garnacha from Wine Enthusiast, Apr 2024
“Wild cherries, mushrooms and aniseed on the nose. Some cinnamon. It’s full-bodied, plump and rich, with soft tannins and a ripe and spicy finish.” — acclaim for 2022 Borsao Garnacha from James Suckling, Dec 2023
