2021 Bodegas Borsao Tres Picos

Borsao is the benchmark for premium Spanish Garnacha. They have certainly been the pioneers of this variety with the firm belief that Garnacha is particularly suited to the Aragon region. Garnacha is experiencing a huge revival worldwide due to its fruit-driven character, soft tannins and pleasant mouthfeel, making it a perfect match for a wide variety of dishes. Garnacha originated in Aragon, where Borja is located and owes its development throughout Europe to the strength of the Kingdom of Aragon, whose expansion saw Garnacha become established in the Rhône Valley in the 19th century, Italy and Sardinia.

Garnacha is the most widely planted red variety in the world. Other names for Garnacha; Alicante, Aragonés, Cannonau, Garnaccho Negro, Garnacha Negra, Garnacha Roja, Garnacha Tinta, Grenache, Tintilla, Toledana, Uva di Spagna.

The Tres Picos has been voted Best Value Wine by Robert Parker on several occasions, so the demand for this highly sought-after wine is always high. The Tres Picos is made from Garnacha grapes that are harvested from very old vines (60 years). The vineyards are located fairly cool at an altitude of about 650 metres in Campo de Borja, south of the Rioja. This also allows the grapes to ripen slowly and gradually. An important condition for the production of complex and high-quality wines. After fermentation, a short maturation period follows in small oak barrels.

In taste the Tres Picos is certainly the equal of a complex Châteuneuf-du-Pape, which is also made mainly from Grenache grapes. In price the Tres Picos wins easily! Described by Parker as the flagship of Borsao. It is a full, firm, pleasant 100% Garnacha wine. Ripe red and black fruit, minerals, earthy tones, a hint of vanilla and intense aromas of red berries and black cherry with floral nuances. In the mouth the Tres Picos is full bodied, very rich and beautifully structured with pleasant fine-grained tannins with a fleshy and intense taste
