Read moreLocated in northeastern Spain, the Campo de Borja appellation is characterized by an extreme climate. It features hot summers, cold winters, and the dry regional wind known as Cierzo, which helps keep the vineyards healthy. Ancient Garnacha (Grenache) vines, with roots deep in the stony soil, produce small but highly concentrated yields. The resulting red wine boasts a dark color and powerful aromas of ripe strawberries, plum jam, and black pepper.
With their full body, round tannins, and higher alcohol content, these wines are practically made for rich, hearty food. It is the ideal wine for meat, pairing spectacularly with barbecued ribs, beef steaks, lamb stews, and spicy Chorizo sausage appetizers. This Spanish wine will perfectly complement any cozy outdoor gathering or barbecue.
Are only Garnacha grapes used in Campo de Borja wine?
While Garnacha is the undisputed queen of the region, it is often blended with other varieties such as Tempranillo, Syrah, or Cabernet Sauvignon. These varieties add extra structure, tannins, and longevity to the wine.
Can these wines be cellared for a long time?
Basic "Joven" (young) or briefly aged wines are meant to be consumed immediately. However, premium wines made from old vines (Viñas Viejas) and aged in oak barrels can evolve beautifully in a cellar for 5 to 8 years.
What is the best serving temperature?
Rich red wines dominated by dark berry aromas are best served at room temperature or slightly cooler—around 16–18 °C—so the alcohol does not overpower the fruitiness.
