Campo de Borja, the 'Kingdom of Garnacha', is "the source of some of the best value wines from Spain, if not the world" (John Radford, Decanter).
Its reputation has been built on the success of its low-yielding Garnacha old bush vines – and the extraordinary value of its patiently aged reds. So we are delighted to present to you the velvety, 6-year-old Ermita de San Lorenzo Gran Selección 2018, winner of four Golds, one Double Gold and two Silver medals!
This luscious red was made using fruit from decades-old vines at the 500-year-old Bodegas Ruberte, in a region that was established thanks to the vine planting of medieval Cistercian monks. (It's highly likely that Romans planted vines before that!) 60% of the wine is Garnacha from vines planted in 1958. The balance is Cabernet Sauvignon, which adds classic cassis character and structure to the spicy, raspberry rich Garnacha. Today, after a meticulous 6 years in oak, it's rich and gloriously mellow and drinking perfectly – as all those glittering medals show. It's a beautiful food wine, the perfect match to a grand lamb roast.
