This region takes its name from the small town of Borja in the Ebro Valley west of Zaragoza, the ancestral home of the Borja family, whose castle still survives. Demarcated in 1977, it now embraces 9, 846 hectares of vineyard. Made mainly from the Garnacha Tintorera grape, the traditional wine was a very full-bodiedred, more astringent and acidic than the wine from Cariñena and containing an average 15-16 per cent alcohol, but sometimes a hefty 18 per cent. Lighter reds, rosés and better oak-aged Tempranillo reds are now being produced.
