2019 Bodegas Borsao Berola

The Bodegas Borsao Berola 2019 is a powerful yet refined red wine from Campo de Borja, in northeastern Spain. This blend of Garnacha and Syrah combines the sun-drenched ripeness of Aragon with surprising freshness and elegance. A wine that demonstrates how modern Spanish craftsmanship and authentic terroir can go hand in hand.

Origin & grapes

The 2019 Berola comes from select vineyards in the hills surrounding Borja, at an altitude of 600 to 700 meters. Here, the grapes benefit from warm days and cool nights, resulting in ripe fruit while retaining vibrant acidity. The blend consists of approximately 70% Garnacha and 30% Syrah , sourced from 35- to 60-year-old vines deeply rooted in poor, stony soils. This produces concentrated fruit and a wine with structure and depth.

Vinification & style

• Fermentation: at controlled temperatures in stainless steel to preserve the fruit.
• Maturation: 14 months in partly French and partly American oak, which provides complexity, softness and spicy nuances.
• Style: full, warm and harmonious with ripe fruit, soft tannins and a refined wood note.
