| Community Tasting Notes (average 89.1 pts. and median of 89 pts. in 13 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by Catnip_John on 2/16/2022 & rated 90 points: Decanted 90 min (492 views) | | | Tasted by RayT on 8/18/2020 & rated 82 points: This is not something I would typically buy or drink. I belong to the wine club at my neighborhood wine bar. The owner tries to find $25 reds drinking above their price point. This was one of the club wines. This was ruby in color with a moderate nose of blackberries and vanilla. Similar on the palate adding plum and espresso. While tasting this it seemed fine but then it had an incredibly clipped finish. I am talking fall off a cliff, nothing but air finish. With time it developed a little bit but never gained a finish. Not something I would revisit. (1257 views) | | | Tasted by beatles on 5/12/2020 & rated 91 points: Powerful, spicy with sweet notes - I could have guessed South Africa, if tasted blind. This really holds it's own ... in all sorts of weather.
#test (1504 views) | | | Tasted by tedcholl on 2/8/2020 & rated 89 points: Enjoyable and smooth, not as big and bold as Australian Shiraz. black fruit, cedar, licorice predominate on the palate. (921 views) | | | Tasted by André71 on 2/8/2020 & rated 95 points: Så bra detta är.
Mjukt och runt.
För 140kr kan man nog inte få mycket bättre.
Kommer definitivt bli mitt husvin. (1021 views) | | | Tasted by Gemofwine on 2/2/2020 & rated 92 points: Bold, very fruits forward. Brilliant nose of fresh flowers, cherries, herbs, enveloped in a nice oaky fragrance . Still young , but drinking well. Highly dry palate, and seem like high extraction method used. Well Balanced. (634 views) | | | Tasted by André71 on 1/25/2020 & rated 94 points: Ett helt underbart vin i mitt tycke. Drack den på semester till en saftig köttbit och det gifte sig direkt.
Vanilj och choklad med lena tanniner gör det så bra.
Leta ett tag innan jag fick tag på det.
För ca 150kr är detta ett riktigt kap.
Blir fler ggr jag kommer köpa på mej.

P: LM, poss Med, body; RNDISH entry with NICE, ALMOST swtish frt met by astringent pucker which fairly seamlessly evolves into a LONG finish with a tangy/swtness to the dusty tannins.

Wine Map on weinlagen-info
Spain is the third largest wine producing nation in the world, occupying the majority of the Iberian Peninsula with vast diversity in climate, culture, and of course, wine. From inky, dark reds of the [Priorat] to dry, white Finos from Andalusia, Spain can easily boast of elaborating a wide variety of notable styles. Within Spain there are currently 62 demarcated wine regions, of which a handful have gained international recognition: [Rioja], Priorat and [Ribera del Duero]. Yet these regions are only a small sample of the high quality wines Spain produces. Regions such as Cava, Penedes, Somontano, Galicia, Rueda and Jerez are only a few of the numerous regions worthy of exploration throughout Spain. Spain can also lay claim to having the most land under vine in the world, growing up to, by some accounts, 600 indigenous varietals of which Tempranillo is their most well known. Other popular varietals include [Garnacha], Bobal and Monastrell for reds and for whites; the infamous [sic] Palomino Fino grape which is used in the production of sherry wine, Pedro Ximenez in Montilla Morilles, Albarino used in the creation of the bright, effervescent wines of Galicia, and Verdejo in Rueda. - Source: - Catavino.net
Spain is not in the forefront of winemaking for its dessert wines, other than for its sweet wines from Sherry country including the highly revered Olorosos (when sweetened). But apart from Sherry Spain has a range of styles of dessert wines, ranging from the those made from the Pedro Ximenez grape primarily in Jerez and Montilla-Moriles) to luscious, red dessert wines made in the Mediterranean from the Garnacha (Grenache) grape. Some good Moscatels are made in Mallorca, Alicante and Navarre. The northwest corner of Spain, Galicia, with its bitter Atlantic climate, is even making dessert wines, called “Tostadillos” in the village of Ribadivia (similar to France’s “Vin de Paille”). The Canary Islands have made interesting dessert wines for centuries (they are mentioned by Shakespeare, for example) and in recent years the quality of winemaking has been improved and the Canary Islands wines are being better marketed now. The winemaking styles for “Vinos Dulces” are also diverse, from “Late Harvest” (Vendimia Tardía) to “Fortified Wines” (Fermentación Parcial).

Campo de Borja is een streek die in het westen ligt van de regio Aragón en geografisch gezien is het een voortzetting van zuid Navarra. De wijngaarden staan op een hoogte van 350 tot 700 meter in een bodem die vooral bestaat uit bruine, zanderige aarde en kalksteen. Dit bodemtype bevordert de drainage en is rijk aan calcium en silicium. Ideaal voor het produceren van kwaliteitswijnen. Het klimaat in Campo de Borja is continentaal. Hete zomers, koude winters en maar weinig neerslag. Gelukkig maakt de wintermist veel goed. Wijngaarden in deze regio bestaan vaak uit de druivensoort Garnacha. Tegenwoordig wordt deze ook aangevuld met Tempranillo en Cabernet Sauvingon. Campo de Borja heeft een D.O. status sinds 1980.
