2021 Bodegas Borsao Bolé

The Bodegas Borsao Bolé 2021 is a delicious, full-bodied red wine from Campo de Borja in Aragon.

Ripe fruit, a hint of spice, and a soft, rounded structure make the Bolé an irresistible wine with character and accessibility.

Origin & grapes

Bodegas Borsao is located in the heart of Campo de Borja , southwest of Zaragoza. The vineyards are situated at altitudes between 400 and 700 meters, where the dry continental climate and cool nights produce concentrated grapes with lively acidity. The 2021 Bolé is a blend of approximately 70% Garnacha and 30% Syrah , sourced from old vines on poor, stony soils that yield sparse but powerful fruit.

Vinification & style

• Fermentation: at controlled temperatures in stainless steel to preserve the fruit.
• Maturation: 3 months in French oak, which adds subtle vanilla and toast notes without overpowering the fruit.
• Style: modern, smooth and aromatic with a perfect balance between ripeness and freshness.
