Borsao Tres Picos · 2022
This is a 100% single varietal Garnacha, originating from mountain vineyards aged between 35-60 years old and lying at an altitude of 600-700 metres on clay-limestone soils with stones and loam in the composition. The wine appears a very intense dark Picota cherry red colour with purple hues. On the nose it releases a display of concentrated aromas featuring ripe red fruits with floral nuances. The palate is rich and well-structured, offering notes of blackberries and plums, with hints of leather and vanilla, and exhibiting sweet, silky tannins. Aged for 5 months in new French oak barrels.

About the vineyard[+]
“The Empire of the Garnacha” is how this region describes itself and it is one of the four wine-making areas in Aragon, located in the north-west of Zaragoza province, bordering Navarra. Although wine was already being produced in the region at the time of the Roman Empire, the Cistercian monks from the Monastery of Veruela were responsible for the further expansion of vine cultivation in the 13th Century, bequeathing their legacy to us through the ages. The most characteristic wines are those made from the most widely-grown grape variety, the Garnacha, but foreign varieties are also in evidence such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Syrah. These wines have their own personality - strong, meaty and fruity - partly due to the high quality of the older vineyards planted with the principal varietal. With an extreme continental climate, Campo de Borja's vineyards have been planted on the slopes and terraces of the Moncayo mountain range as it gently descends towards the Ebro valley. The soils are brownish-grey limestone and iron-rich clay which ensures good drainage.
