A rather young winery by Spanish standards, Borsao was founded in 1958 and works primarily with the region’s important varietal, garnacha. This spirited red is one of the best values on the market.

This cheerful red from the south of France is as easy and smooth to drink as it's color suggests. With notes of cherry it behaves in many ways like Beaujolais a bit to it's north.

Red Tail Ridge sends 10% of the profit of this wine to a food bank in our region, hence the name! We don't often send out wines with a bit of residual sugar, but this is so perfect with anything spice - such as an Indian curry, that we just had to. It's also great as a July 4th wine!
