What the critics say...
Wine Spectator: 86 points(01/01/2011)
"This compact red offers black cherry, leaf, vanilla and light earth flavors, with light, firm tannins and bright acidity. Fresh and focused, with some depth. Drink now through 2013."

The origins go back to 1958, the year the Cooperative of Borja was founded, which has through years been the forerunner of the mythical brand Borsao.
In the year 2001, Borsao went on to obtain its own legal status with the creation of the company Bodegas Borsao S.A., comprising of the... cooperatives of Borja, Pozuelo and Tabuenca, thereby joining efforts, resources and means, that combined with the experience and potential of the vineyards of the 3 wine cellars has enabled the development of a new work philosophy that has gained us international recognition and prestige.
