Pagos del Moncayo Prados Colección Garnacha Campo de Borja red wine dry DO Spain (6 x 0.75l)

• STORY: In the beginning there is hand picking. The grapes are already de-stemmed in the vineyard, and the must obtained, of optimum quality, then goes into small open-topped warehouses that can hold exactly the amount harvested for one day. After that, there is no pressing, but actually only stomping with bare feet!

• VINIFICATION: After the selective manual harvest, the grapes are not pressed by machine, but only stamped with bare feet! Ten months aging in new American oak barrels. The wine is bottled unfiltered.

• AROMA: Dense purple garnet. Typical notes of fresh black cherries, pepper, raw meat and coffee, highlighted with spices and blackcurrants and blackberries.

• ASSESSMENT: Pleasantly cool palate, not overextracted and yet firm, full-bodied, strong and again fruity with a full, mouth-filling nature. Not broad and sweet, but slightly cool; perfectly dense and tightly meshed.

• SERVING RECOMMENDATION: with classic Spanish cuisine such as paella, albóndigas, pinchos morunos; but also with braised and grilled meat, sausage, pork, roasts.

Since 2006, the Spanish star oenologist Pedro Aibar has been working with a lot of commitment, diligence and the help of friends to realize a family dream.
His goal is to use traditional methods to create authentic and unique wines on the small, 7-hectare DO Campo de Borja winery that could hardly be more typical of the almost forgotten northern Spanish wine-growing region. Wines like the Pagos del Moncayo from the Spanish flagship Garnacha. From vines that are more than 50 years old, the family produces a red wine that is bursting with peppery juiciness and the original Spanish wine enjoyment. Hand picking is the starting point. The grapes are already de-stemmed in the vineyard, and the must obtained, of optimum quality, then goes into small open-topped warehouses that can hold exactly the amount harvested for one day. After that, there is no pressing, but actually only stomping with bare feet! After ten months of aging in new American oak barrels, the Pagos del Moncayo Garnacha is bottled unfiltered. Exactly this care is noticeable in the Pagos del Moncayo Garnacha when you finally have it in the glass: An incredible drinking pleasure that is unparalleled in this price range. Juicy with berries and with long, distinctive tannins that ensure length on the palate and depth in character, it conveys the charm and cheerfulness of the Spanish attitude to life in an inimitable way!
