Production: 

Morca is a 100% Grenache-based wine sourced from the younger vines of the estate.

Grapes of Garnacha from small plots with low yield are hand-harvested and fermented separately in small vats at a controlled temperature of 22º-26ºC.

Matured for 20 months in French oak barrels. Each barrel is sampled and submitted to a rigorous selection process before being used to produce this exclusive and limited-edition wine.

Tasting Notes:

Dark, intense colour; aromas of ripe fruit, spices, liquorice, plum, black cherries, mocha, cedar wood, and subtle oak; smooth with tannins marked but integrated; concentration, balance, and length.

Notes:

It shows great potential for ageing. Drinks very well now and over the next 10-12 years. Matching perfectly with rice, all sorts of red and white meats (grilled, stewed, or roasted), poultry, smoked seafood, blue and cured cheeses, and casserole dishes.

THE WINERY

The Juan Gil family group's most recent project, Bodegas Morca in Campo de Borja, is the second winery in Aragón that is part of the group. The project began in 2014 with the successful launch of the small winery in the village of Borja, northwest of the province of Zaragoza (Aragón), in an area dominated by the Moncayo Mountain range. Currently, the bodega owns 120 hectares of vineyard, up from the 30 hectares at its beginning.
