"Rame" Garnacha DO Campo de Borja 2022

Vineyards

The grapes for this wine are sourced from vineyards located in the undulating foothills of the Moncayo mountain, ranging from around 350m to 800m above sea level. The climate is rather severe and arid, with hot dry days and cool nights, which allow optimum acidity levels to be maintained within the grapes. Garnacha thrives in these conditions and represents 65% of total production.

Winemaking

This wine is made from 100% Garnacha grapes. The winemaking process includes fermentation in stainless steel at controlled temperature. The wine is then aged in stainless steel tanks to maintain its vibrant fruit character. 

Appearance

This wine presents a bright, ripe, and fruity red colour, indicating its vibrancy and concentration.

Nose

Generous aromas of ripe blackberry and plum, reflecting its Campo de Borja origins.

Palate

The palate offers bright bramble fruit and cherry characters, with supple tannins and balancing acidity, offering a harmonious balance of fruit and structure.

Food pairing

This versatile wine pairs well with rich, meaty foods such as lasagne, meatballs, or barbecue, complementing a range of flavours and cuisines.

Background story

The winery was established as a co-operative in 1959. 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 optimum 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.
