Borsao Bodegas Monte Oton Garnacha is a delightful offering hailing from the Campo de Borja region in Spain. Crafted solely from 100% Garnacha grapes cultivated in the alluvial soils at the foothills of the Moncayo mountain, its production is overseen by Bodegas Borsao, a cooperative with a rich history dating back to 1959. The vineyards, spanning over 2,400 hectares and benefiting from altitudes ranging between 350m to 800m above sea level, boast a diverse array of grapes, ensuring exceptional quality. Thanks to the region's arid climate and the influence of the Cierzo wind from the Moncayo, the grapes ripen to full maturity, offering a perfect balance of acidity and flavor. With temperature-controlled fermentation and a 15-day maceration period in stainless steel, this wine embodies the epitome of easy-drinking yet distinguished Spanish Garnacha, cherished for its affordability and quality alike.
