Pagos del Moncayo Prados Fusión Garnacha Syrah Campo de Borja red wine dry DO Spain (3 x 0.75l)

• STORY: The Bodega Pagos del Moncayo is located in the foothills of the Sierra del Moncayo in the forgotten northern Spanish wine-growing region of Campo de Borja. The small winery is a heart project of the Spanish star oenologist Pedro Aibar. With absolute dedication he works here on the realization of a family dream: to produce unadulterated and authentic wines in the most original way possible.

• 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: Deep dark, almost black color in the glass, ripe dark berries, spices, cocoa and liquorice in the bouquet.

• RATING: On the palate, a full fruity, characterful juiciness with hints of cassis and cherries embedded in dark chocolate. The aftertaste is complex and long-lasting with excellently integrated tannins.

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

Bodega Pagos del Moncayo is located in the foothills of the Sierra del Moncayo in the forgotten northern Spanish wine-growing region of Campo de Borja. The small winery is a heart project of the Spanish star oenologist Pedro Aibar. With absolute dedication he works here on the realization of a family dream: to produce unadulterated and authentic wines in the most original way possible. To do this, he dispenses with most of the technical aids. Electricity is only turned on for grape harvest or bottling, and the grapes are harvested exclusively by hand and barefoot stamped. In 2014, it was the first Spanish winery to receive the Eco ProWine certification. An EU project that promotes sustainability in viticulture in the member states. Since Pedro deliberately decided to cultivate only seven hectares with vines over 50 years old, the production volume of his “Garage Winery” is comparatively low and the existing lots are correspondingly sought-after. However, we are among the lucky wine merchants to whom Pedro allocates a sufficient number of bottles.
