Borsao Campo de Borja Garnacha Tinto 2006
Medium ruby red. Simple, fresh plum fruit along with redcurrants, and a slightly
earthy, minerally edge. Finishes well. Uncomplicated pleasure.
Bodegas Borsao was establised in 2001 and is a collection of three of the most
progressive co-operative cellars in the Campo de Borja zone southeast of Rioja.
Grapes come from 620 member growers covering 2,500 hectares, nearly a third of
the region's total. Vineyards lie in the undulating foothills of the Moncayo mountain,
up to 700m above sea level. In this rather severe and arid climate, with hot dry
days and cool nights, Garnacha thrives and represents 70% of total production.
New varieties such as Syrah, Tempranillo, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon have also
adapted well to this rugged and stony terrain.
