Wine Description

This 100% Garnacha wine from the Campo de Borja DO elegantly expresses the characteristics of this varietal. 

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.

Acclaim
"Deep, vivid red. Ripe red berries, candied flowers and a hint of succulent herbs on the fragrant nose and in the mouth. In a juicy, fresh, light-bodied style, showing good finishing clarity, a hint of spiciness and barely detectable tannins. This would be good served slightly chilled." 
— Vinous, Feb 2021
"Brilliant ruby. Dark berries and candied flowers on the perfumed nose and in the mouth. In a jammy, straightforward, extremely easy-to-drink style with good depth and no rough edges. Closes gently tannic, leaving a repeating floral note behind."
— Vinous, May 2017
