Wine Description

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

“Full bodied and spicy, this wine comes from Spain and offers a great taste at a great price. It’s light and smooth with the perfect acidity. It’s best with beef, chicken, lamb, or pasta.”
— Good Housekeeping, Mar 2021

"This red is fresh and juicy, with sweet cherry, tangerine and vanilla flavors. Features light tannins and just enough tangy acidity to keep the lively fruit in focus."
— Wine Spectator, Oct 2020
