2020 Bodegas Borsao Seleccion

“POSSIBLY THE SINGLE GREATEST DRY RED WINE VALUE IN THE WORLD.” ROBERT PARKER'S WINE ADVOCATE. ISSUE #203.

Borsao is the benchmark for premium Spanish Garnacha. They have certainly been the pioneer of this variety with the firm conviction that the Garnacha is particularly suitable for the Aragon region. Garnacha is experiencing a huge revival worldwide thanks to its fruit-driven character, soft tannins and pleasant mouthfeel, making it a perfect match for a wide variety of meals.

Garnacha originated in Aragón, where Borja is located, and it owes its development throughout Europe to the strength of the Kingdom of Aragon, whose expansion made Garnacha well-established in the Rhone Valley in the 19th century, Italy and Sardinia.

De Stijl Borsao Tinto Selección Red is a Garnacha with a little syrah & tempranillo. After the maceratio, a separate fermentation of each variety takes place in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature between 22º-24º C and only during bottling the wine master of Borsao determines the exact blend, but in all cases it is a Grenache driven wine. This wine matures a lot longer than the Classico and this makes the wine still fruity but also fuller. The deep purple-red color immediately sets the senses to work. The nose receives a cocktail of cherry liqueur, raspberries and lush flowers. In the taste a perfect balance of dark red fruit, mocha and spices and a juicy aftertaste. This is a delicious wine with roast lamb, spicy cheeses, dry sausage.
