Alto Moncayo Garnacha Campo de Borja DO

Campo de Borja DO, Spain

Estate Garnacha from 60-year-old vines at 600m altitude on volcanic limestone at the foot of the Moncayo volcano. Deep concentration: blackberry, plum, violet, dark chocolate, spice, and Moncayo's distinctive volcanic mineral character. 14 months in French oak (35% new). The wine that demonstrated Campo de Borja's old Garnacha could be world-class.

Pairing intelligence

• main: Classic Aragonese pairing; old-vine Garnacha's raspberry and violet are natural with the delicate suckling lamb cutlets
• main: Moncayo Garnacha with Aragonese lamb slow-cooked; violet and dark cherry complement the herb-braised lamb perfectly
• starter: Aragonese cod fritters with Aragonese old-vine Garnacha; the wine's fruit bridges the brine-richness of the cod preparation
