Bodegas Borsao tror på, at en god vin "fødes" i vinmarken, og de er derfor meget omhyggelige med at høste på det helt rigtige tidspunkt. Ikke for tidligt, da det vil give stramme og snerpende vine, og ikke for sent, da vinene så vil blive slappe og i bedste fald marmeladeagtige. Når druerne er høstet, gennemgår de en ekstra kvalitetskontrol, inden de bliver sendt ind i vineriet.
Løbende følger man med i den teknologiske udvikling for at efterstræbe den bedst mulige kvalitet, og i vineriet styres den rette temperatur i gæringstankene derfor elektronisk.
Borsao gør mere og mere ud af økologi og sustainability, og med et nyt vinhus i 2018 får de nu over en tredjedel af deres strøm fra soceller, de gemmer og genbruger regnvand til vanding af marker. i 2022 havde de over 100 hektar af økologiske vinmarker.
Robert Parker om vinhuset:
"This is a marvelous consumer resource for high quality wines selling at absurdly low prices. I often ask myself, if I had known wines like this existed when I began my career 33 years ago, would I have even considered trying to find great wines at low prices? This has been one of my "go-to" wineries for many years, given their relationship between quality and price. Once you taste these wines, you will probably ask the same question many people have - why do I need to spend more?
Bodegas Borsao, which was founded in 1958, owns 3,700 acres in what is one of the emerging, super quality, realistically priced wine regions of not only Spain, but all of Western Europe, Campo de Borja. The soils tend to be dominated by a white chalkiness with considerable alluvial gravel and pebbles.
The climate is continental, meaning extremely hot summers and cold winters with some influence from the nearby Ebro River. The vineyards are not old by Spanish standards, with most of the Grenache planted in the early 1980s, and the Tempranillo, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah in the late 1990s.
Most of the wines see no oak, and are fermented and aged in stainless steel under strict temperature and quality conditions."
