Tres Picos Garnacha 2022
Bodegas Borsao Tres Picos is the flagship wine from one of Spain's most respected Garnacha specialists — and it's easy to see why. Sourced from vines up to 60 years old, planted high in the rugged Alto Moncayo at 600–700 metres altitude, this is a bold, full-bodied Garnacha that manages to be both hedonistic and finely structured. A benchmark for the variety. Why You'll Love It Founded in 1959 as a co-operative, Bodegas Borsao has spent decades perfecting its understanding of Garnacha in the Campo de Borja. Tres Picos represents the very best of that knowledge — old vines, low yields, and careful winemaking producing a wine that punches well above its price point. Rich, generous, and deeply satisfying, this is the kind of Spanish red that converts people to Garnacha for life. Vineyard & Production Fruit is sourced from Borsao's oldest vines, rooted in poor clay and limestone soils at altitude in the Alto Moncayo. Low yields of under 4.5 tonnes per hectare ensure exceptional concentration and intensity. After temperature-controlled fermentation (25–30°C) with 20–25 days of skin contact, the wine matures for 5 months in new French oak barriques, adding depth and complexity without masking the vibrant fruit character. Tasting Notes An intense bouquet of ripe red fruits and floral notes, typical of Garnacha at its finest. The palate is rich and generous — bramble, strawberry, and raspberry fruit layered with warm vanilla, liquorice, and spice. Supple yet structured tannins lead to a long, expansive finish. Perfect Pairings Made for red meat. Think rib of beef, lamb chops, Iberian pork, or slow-roasted shoulder of lamb. Also excellent alongside a robust cheese board or a rich mushroom and lentil stew. The Blend Garnacha 100% — Campo de Borja DO, Aragon, Spain. Old vines. 5 months French oak. 75cl bottle.
