Persoonlijke gegevens
Bodegas MORCA is part of the Juan Gil Family. Bodegas Morca is located in the village of Borja, in the province of Zaragoza, and belongs to the Campo de Borja appellation – the region famous for its robust red Garnacha. Garnacha grapes from small plots with low yields are hand-picked and fermented separately in small vats. Then, the Flor de Morca Garnacha is transferred to French oak barrels where it spends six months transforming into a fruity, full-bodied, and very attractive wine.
The Flor de Morca, formerly known as Flor de Goda, is a new name. It is almost opaque in the glass with purple hues typical of a full-bodied Garnacha. The wine displays richness and finesse with layers of blackberry, blueberry, and plum, mineral, mocha, and spice notes, bordered by dark chocolate, licorice, and crushed pepper. The Flor de Morca is the Morca's little brother and is a delicious, fruity, full-bodied wine that pairs perfectly with rice, pasta (noodles, spaghetti, macaroni), vegetables, mushrooms, stew, sausage, pork, roast, grilled meat, and also delicious with a spicy (blue-veined) cheese. We recommend drinking this wine (as with many warm-blooded wines) slightly chilled – delicious!!! (14-16 degrees).

| Sommy Pairing Beschrijving | De 2024 Gil Family Estates Morca Flor de Morca toont een weelderig smaakpalet van rijpe bramen, bosbessen en pruim met ondertonen van mokka, donkere chocolade, zoethout, minerale accenten en een vleugje geplette peper, vol en fruitig van body. Door die rijke fruitigheid, zachte kruidigheid en stevige structuur past hij uitstekend bij rundvlees, barbecue en feestelijke gerechten omdat hij vet en umami moeiteloos tegemoet treedt en ook bij pittige kazen en gegrild varken of worst mooi overeind blijft; extra geslaagd wordt het bij stoofvlees op lage temperatuur, gegrilde steak of gemarineerde barbecuegerechten en bij paddenstoelenpasta of risotto waarin de aardse smaken de wijn versterken. Serveer licht gekoeld rond 14–16 °C voor optimale frisheid en balans. |

The 2017 Morca is an extremely dark, almost opaque, ripe and oaky Garnacha from head-pruned vines in the villages of Borja and Tabuenca. It fermented in open-top stainless steel tanks with neutral yeasts followed by malolactic and 22 months in French oak barrels. This is super ripe and heady, in the style of a mini-Amarone, with black fruit in liqueur and tons of balsamic notes from the élevage. It's hard to see the underbrush and the Mediterranean herbs that are there in the background. The palate is really powerful, aggressive; it feels too young and alcoholic. Tasting against the 2015, it feels like this needs at least another couple of years in bottle to become a little more civilized. But tasting these wines is hard, it's declinations of the same excess ripeness and oak in different degrees. 11,273 bottles produced. It was bottled in August 2019.
Morca is the name of the winery in Campo de Borja from the Jumilla-based Gil Family Estates and vintner Jordi Flos. I had only tasted a couple of wines from the first vintage (2014), and they now have a whole range, of which they showed me up to three different vintages so I could get up to date. Here, they own 77 hectares of vines, and in 2017 they produced 80,500 bottles, but the project is designed to reach 200,000 bottles. The wines are even more powerful than the ones from Calatayud, perhaps a little more rustic, and they are also produced with Garnacha. I found the wines too ripe and alcoholic, and I had to leave the top ones in the glass to see if they developed any nuances, but that only seemed to increase the sensation of warmth and oak. Certainly not my cup of tea.

Bodegas Morca is found in Borja, the birthplace of Grenacha, iconic for its specific limestone soils that give the wines character. Situated on the Moncayo slopes you will find the 30-50 year old vines of Bodegas Morca. The cool winds from the north increase the wine's concentration whilst still preserving a freshness and lively acidity. Each parcel of grapes is hand harvested and vinified separately - allowing for the best blending opportunities.
