A rich and impressive Grenache Syrah blend from Borsao's high altitude, low-yielding vineyards, produced in collaboration with renowned Syrah expert Chris Ringland.
Produced from 20-40 year old, low-yielding vines, planted on stony clay and limestone soils in the Alto Moncayo at 500-700 metres. Predominantly Grenache, with Syrah and a dash of Mazuelo - each variety undergoes temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel separately, with around 15 days maceration on skins. The wine is then aged for 10 months in 90% French and 10% American oak barriques.
Pronounced ripe red fruit aromas with a hint of vanilla and a lightly herbal note. Cabriola by Borsao has a palate is full and well-structured with bramble and berry fruit alongside toasty notes and sweet spice. Ripe, supple tannins and juicy acidity give a long and balanced finish.
Great with roast or grilled red meats, hearty sausage or lentil casseroles.
Please note that all case deals can take between 7-10 days for delivery.

Reviews:
Cabriola by Borsao 2017: “This full-bodied version is balanced and well-knit, enlivened by racy acidity and a fragrant tang of fresh herbs, offering flavours of kirsch, toast, fig cake and smoke wrapped around taut tannins. Ends with a juicy, spicy finish. Garnacha, Syrah and Mazuelo. Drink now through 2029.” 91pts. Alison Napjus, Wine Spectator (31st July ’22)
