Bodegas Borsao, Tres Picos

This winery’s origins go back to 1958, the year the Cooperative of Borja was founded. This is where Borsao originated as a brand. Some years later, the co-operatives of Pozuelo and Tabuenca joined Borja, adding their resources and –most importantly- their vineyards. This happened in the year 2001, and the new company was called Bodegas Borsao S.A. Its 700 grower members became shareholders and a management team was appointed to shape the foundations of the winery: starting with the grape sourcing scheme and following with a refurbishment of the winemaking facilities. Nowadays this modern winery has 375 winegrowers.

Bodegas Borsao is regularly lauded as producing the best Garnacha in the world. They have been one of the greatest preservers of this variety. They believe that it is specially suited to the region of Campo de Borja, Aragon where it originated.

Tres Picos punches well above its price bracket. A wine of great concentration with aromas of ripe red fruit with floral nuances. In the mouth it is a well structured, rich wine that evokes tastes of blackberry, plum and tones of leather and vanilla, with a soft silky tannin.
