The Cooperative of Borja was founded in 1958; in 2001, Borsao obtained its own legal status with the creation of the company Bodegas Borsao S.A. Actually, it comprises over 2430 ha. of some 620 vine-rowers in the northwest of the province of Zaragoza, most of them situated between 400 and 700 mt above sea level and protected by the Moncayo Mountain Range. Bodegas Borsao is an example of how to produce wines of good quality at low prices.    

Tasting notes:

Intense nose of mature red fruit, spice, and hints of sweet oak. A smooth, full-bodied, flavoursome wine with a long, spicy finish.
