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, low-yield plots are hand-picked and fermented separately in small vats before being transferred to French oak barrels, where the FLOR DE MORCA GARNACHA remains for 6 months to transform into a fruity, full-bodied, and highly attractive wine.
The Flor de Morca is the new name and was formerly known as Flor de Goda. In the glass, it is almost opaque with purple hues, as befits a full-bodied Garnacha. The wine displays richness and finesse with layers of blackberries, blueberries, and plums, mineral, mocha, and spice notes edged with dark chocolate, licorice, and crushed pepper. The Flor de Morca is the little brother of the Morca and is a delicious, fruity, full-bodied wine that is a perfect accompaniment to rice, pasta (noodles, spaghetti, macaroni), vegetables, mushrooms, stews, sausages, pork, roasted meats, grilled meats, and is also delicious with spicy (blue-veined) cheese. We recommend drinking this wine (and as is the case with many spirited wines) slightly chilled – Blissful!!! (14-16 degrees).

| Sommy Pairing Beschrijving | Volle, donkerfruitige Garnacha met lagen van bramen, bosbessen en pruim, omlijst door mokka, donkere chocolade, zoethout en een vleugje mediterrane kruiden en peper; het rijpe tannine- en alcoholprofiel geeft de wijn een warme, brede afdronk. Daardoor vormt hij een perfecte begeleider van varkensvlees, pasta en pizza, stoofschotels en barbecue omdat het donkere fruit en de stevige body de umami en gekruide sauzen aanvullen, en de zachte tannines tegen gegrild vet opboksen; extra goed werkt gegrild of geroosterd vlees met rozemarijn en knoflook, langzaam gestoofde rund- of varkensstoof met tomaat en rode wijn, en houtskoolgegrilde pizza’s of spicy worstjes die het rijpe fruit laten schitteren. |

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.
