Cabriola by Borsao

Wine Description

Cabriola is a specific jumping maneuver that a horse is trained to perform after years of exacting dressage. The movement requires great technique and precision of the rider and the horse working as a team. Much like the relationship between our winemaker and vineyards, combining masterful technique and passion that results in elegance and art.

“Ripe and racy nose, showing lots of sweet strawberries, baking spices and potpourri that follow through to a medium-to full-bodied palate, rounded by tight and silky tannins. A delicious attack of fresh acidity and alcohol on the mid-palate salivates the palate.”
— James Suckling, Sep 2022
