About This Wine


Comarca

Garnacha-Syrah

Judges awarded the Comarca a Gold medal at the 2018 Finger Lakes International Wine Competiton and 90 points and another Gold medal at the 2018 San Diego International Wine & Spirits Challenge! The craft and tradition of winemaking has been practiced by monks for at least a thousand years. All across southern Europe, they worked the land, slowly shaping the history of the world through their viniculture. Across the planet, vineyards dot the landscape, but the concentration is especially high in Europe. Campo de Borja is nestled against the Pyrenees and has been farmed since ancient times. With vines that are at least 50 years old the resulting wine is concentrated and has notes of jammy fruit and earth. Our experts love pairing this wine with saffron rice or a gumbo.

Wine Region


Campo de Borja

Located near Spain’s northwest coast, Campo de Borja is famous for developing the art of Spanish winemaking, with monasteries tending vineyards since the 1100s. There are few places on Earth that can produce so wide a range of grape varietals as the Campo de Borja, famed for both red and white wines. Nestled in the Ebro River Valley, white wines such as Viura and Chardonnay that would ordinarily wilt in the region's harsh summers thrive thanks to the cooling winds coming down from the Moncayo mountain range.

  • A figure representing the Baking Spice tasting note. Baking Spice

A very versatile wine. You can enjoy on its own or with a meal. Additional herbs and spices will bring out the secondary aromatics in the wine. Pair alongside a roasted pork tenderloin stuffed with fine herbs and rubbed with dijon mustard.
