Bodegas Borsao Berola (75cl, 15%)

Bodegas Borsao Berola is a full-bodied Spanish red blend from Campo de Borja, bottled at 15% ABV in a 750ml bottle. It is a Garnacha-dominant cuvée from Bodegas Borsao, a cooperative winery based in Borja in Aragón. The Berola bottling draws from vineyards planted at 600 to 700 metres above sea level in clay-limestone soils, where Garnacha vines range from 35 to 60 years old, with select parcels approaching 80 years. After harvest, the wine ages for 14 months in a combination of French and American oak barrels. The nose opens with concentrated black currant and dark cherry, layered with lavender, light balsamic notes and toasted oak. The palate is plush and generous, with ripe cherry and raspberry fruit leading into butterscotch, violet and gentle spice. The finish is medium-long with a creamy texture, trailing blackberry, toasted oak and a hint of dark chocolate.
