The Aragonese DO of Campo de Borja is located to the south of the River Ebro. It is one of three DOs within the province of Zaragoza along with Calatayud and Cariñena. For all three regions Garnacha is a distinguishing feature and it is certainly the main point of interest for Campo de Borja which describes itself as 'El Imperio de la Garnacha'.

Over half Campo de Borja’s vineyards are dedicated to Garnacha including low-yielding older vines (30-50 years old) which have the potential to produce powerful, aromatic wines. This traditional variety is supported by other varieties such as Tempranillo, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Syrah.

Another key factor is altitude. Campo de Borja’s vineyards are divided into three key areas each giving its own style of wine. The lower lying area (350-450m) around Magallón and Pozuelo de Aragón produces structured and aromatic wines and here Garnacha ripens relatively early; around Ainzón, Borja and Feudejalón ((450-550m) the wines are more structured and intense and in the highest areas, which include parts of Ainzón and Fuendejalón as well as Tabuenca and El Buste (550-700m), the finest and most elegant styles are sourced.

The soils are generally well drained and various types can be found including limestone, chalk and clay which are all apt for vine growing.

Campo de Borja is home to a small number of export-orientated producers who have invested in the latest winemaking technology. The region has proved that it can produce well made and competitively priced wines but all the elements are in place for greater things to come.
