Campo de Borja DO

Six year old rarity from the grapes of 50 year old Garnacha vines with a portion of dense Cabernet. Aged for three years in French oak in cellars below a 500 year old bodega, this is a complex, mature wine with soft berry spice and a savoury finish.
We're sorry, this wine is sold out.

The Wine
As Spanish wine expert John Radford wrote in Decanter, the tiny enclave of Campo de Borja is “the source of some of the best value wines from Spain, if not the world”. It’s true.
