Red Wine Borsao Bole 2020
Availability: In stock
The red wine Borsao Bole is produced in Campo de Borja, Aragón.
It is made from a blend of 70% Grenache, coming from 15 to 30-year-old vineyards, and 30% Syrah, coming from 10-year-old vineyards. They are planted in rocky and clay-limestone soils.
Traditionally vinified, both varieties were first macerated for 10 days and then fermented in stainless steel tanks. After that, this Spanish red wine was transferred into used French oak barrels.
Finally, Borsao Bole 2020 from Bodegas Borsao was aged in the barrels for 3 months.
Pair this red wine from Campo de Borja with cured cheeses and cold cuts.

---|---|
Nose | This blend of Grenache and Syrah carries some expressive aromas of cherries and raspberries, with notes of underbrush, balsam, cinnamon, black pepper and toast. |
Palate | This wine from Bodegas Borsao is yummy, fresh and lively. Crisp acidity, crunchy tannins and long finish reminiscent of licorice, strawberries and plums. |
Our personal opinion | From northern Aragón, arguably the cradle of Grenache, Borsao Bole 2020 is a truly exceptional value. |
