Description
The Bodegas Borsao Selección Macabeo Chardonnay is perfect as an aperitif or with summer fish dishes. The grapes are carefully selected and picked by hand. The juice is then fermented in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature between 14º-18º C. The Macabeo is then aged for a further 3 months in French oak barrels. In the nose you will find intense aromas of citrus and tropical fruit, supplemented with lime and pineapple. In the mouth it is creamy and fresh, perfectly balanced with the fresh acidity.

The Bodega Borsao was founded in 2001 and is located on the Campo de Borja vineyards. This Bodega is responsible for the spectacular progress of this area. The vineyard is in Moncayo and lies at an altitude of 400 to 700 meters, where the queen of the grape is planted: the Garnacha or Grenache which is able to survive perfectly in the harsh weather conditions of the area. The Tres Picos and Tres Lagunas are made from 100% Garnacha grapes that are harvested from very old vines. The vineyards are fairly cool at about 650 meters above sea level in Campo de Borja, south of the Rioja. Partly because of this, the grapes ripen slowly and gradually. An important condition for the production of complex and high quality wines. After fermentation, a short maturation follows on small oak casks. In taste, the wines are certainly the equal of a complex Châteuneuf-du-Pape, which is also mainly made from Grenache grapes. They easily win in price! The well-known American wine writer Robert Parker invariably scores 90 points or more. The Tres Picos is an internationally renowned wine. The Tres Lagunas is only imported by us to the Netherlands and is absolutely unique in terms of price / quality.
