The wine region of Campo de Borja
DO of Aragon at the foot of Moncayo, nicknamed the 'Empire of Garnacha' (~60% of the vineyard, plantings since 1145). Grenache as a generous, fruity red: signature notes of ripe cherry, raspberry, plum, garrigue, sweet spices and a peppery touch, round tannins and a sunny palate — old vines aged 30-50 years. Supple Tempranillo, firm Mazuelo, Cabernet and Syrah round things out. Whites Macabeo, Chardonnay, Moscatel.
The wine region of Aragon
Autonomous community of northeast Spain, historic kingdom of Iberian red Grenache (~75%). Signature Garnacha: generous and sun-drenched with signature ripe cherry, crushed strawberry, garrigue, kirsch, sweet spice and a balsamic touch, round tannins and a warm, alcoholic palate. 4 major DOs: Cariñena the largest (old vines), Calatayud high-altitude, Campo de Borja and Somontano at the Pyrenean foothills. Fresh Macabeo and Garnacha blanca whites.
The word of the wine: Astringency
Chemical stimulation that tightens the mucous membranes of the mouth and causes a sensation of harshness, which is characteristic of the presence of tannins. With time, the tannins lose their harshness and become softer.
