Campo de Borja

An Aragon wine region southwest of Zaragoza, famous for producing some of the world's best-value Garnacha from old, gnarly bush vines on poor clay and limestone soils. Campo de Borja has been nicknamed the Empire of Garnacha — and with justification. Old-vine Garnacha from the foothills of the Moncayo massif achieves extraordinary concentration, violet-spice character, and warm Mediterranean depth at remarkably low prices.
