In 2001 it joined with two other progressive, co-operative, cellars in the Campo de Borja region to become the Bodegas Borsao that we know today. Grapes are sourced from over 375 member growers covering 2,400 hectares - nearly a third of the region's total. Vineyards lie in the undulating foothills of the Moncayo mountain, ranging from around 350m to 800m above sea level. At lower altitudes vines are younger and may require some irrigation, but higher up the slopes the vines are older, unirrigated bush vines. The climate is rather severe and arid, with hot dry days, and cool nights - which allow optimium acidity levels to be maintained within the grapes. Garnacha thrives in these conditions and represents 65% of total production. The Cierzo wind from the Moncayo sweeps across the foothills of the mountain. This cold, dry wind reduces humidity levels and allows grapes to be picked a couple of weeks later in the harvest, at full maturity. Borsao has access to a large number of vineyard plots at different altitudes, and hence to a wide selection of fantastic quality grapes. They are recognised for their entry level varietals - as outstanding examples of easy-to-drink inexpensive wines - as they are for their premium wines, in particular the iconic, multi award winning Tres Picos.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"half\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDrink with slow-cooked belly pork, or perhaps chorizo with chickpeas (as recommended by Sommelier Wine Awards judge Martin Lam).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Borsao Garnacha","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55632131424632,"sku":null,"price":16.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0588\/7154\/6040\/files\/Borgia_BorsaoGarnacha.webp?v=1787248176"},{"product_id":"cami-del-drac-lledoner-pelut-igp-cotes-catalanes","title":"Camí del Drac, Lledoner Pelut IGP Côtes Catalanes","description":"\u003cp class=\"title\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePRODUCER PROFILE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe wines of Terres Fidèles are designed to express the spirit of this extraordinary place – old-vine Grenache, Carignan, Malbec, Cinsault, Viognier and more.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll are authentically crafted, small-batch wines of the wilds.
