Persoonlijke gegevens
Bodegas MORCA is part of the Juan Gil Family. Bodegas Morca is located in the village of Borja, in the province of Zaragoza, and belongs to the Campo de Borja appellation – the region famous for its robust red Garnacha. Garnacha grapes from small plots with low yields are hand-picked and fermented individually in small barrels, then transferred to French oak barrels to complete the malolactic fermentation process. The wine is aged for 22 months in French oak, after which each barrel is tasted. After a rigorous selection process, this exclusive wine is produced in a very limited quantity. The wine then spends another 6-9 months in the Morca cellars aging in the bottle before being released.
This Morca Garnacha has an opaque purple color in the glass, with lush yet precise aromas of crushed black fruit and plums on the nose, framed by cedarwood and spices. Firmly structured, rich, and polished with a ripe and supple tannic backbone. This is super ripe and intoxicating, in the style of a (Spanish) Amarone.

| Sommy Pairing Beschrijving | De 2023 Gil Family Estates Morca Garnacha bied een rijke en complexe smaakbeleving met weelderige aroma’s van zwart fruit en pruimen, omlijst door subtiele toetsen van cederhout en kruiden. De stevige structuur en soepele tannines maken deze wijn uitermate geschikt voor gerechten met rund-, gevogelte- of varkensvlees, vooral wanneer ze bereid zijn met smaakvolle, robuuste bereidingswijzen zoals langzaam gegaard vlees of gegrilde stukken. De volle, rijpe karakter van de wijn komt helemaal tot zijn recht bij bijvoorbeeld een langzaam gegaarde stoofpot, gegrilde entrecote of een sappige varkenshaas, waardoor de diepe smaken in de wijn en het gerecht perfect in balans zijn. |

November 2021 Week 2, The Wine Advocate
The 2018 Morca, the eponymous Garnacha from campo de Borja, showcases the house style of ripe wines but with a floral character that makes them very showy and with generous oak in a surprisingly balanced and fresh style. 2018 somehow produced lighter wines despite reaching 16% alcohol, and the wine is very tasty, expressive, perfumed and attractive. Really very good in its style. 9,600 bottles were filled in August 2020.
Morca is the winery in Campo de Borja from the Gil family from Jumilla and Jordi Flos. The winery owns 100 hectares in the region and currently produces around 100,000 to 150,000 bottles, but the projection is to reach 400,000 to 500,000 in 10 years' time. Powerful, ripe and well-oaked Garnacha from Borja.

From: The Vast Bounty of Central Spain (Feb 2021)
Deep, lurid violet. Ripe dark berries, cherry cola, vanilla and pungent flowers on the deeply perfumed nose. Smooth, broad and sweet on entry, then tighter in the midpalate, offering impressively concentrated cherry and blackberry flavors and hints of vanilla, licorice and spicecake. A smoky nuance builds with air and carries through a very long, gently tannic finish that repeats the floral and licorice notes.
- By Josh Raynolds on November 2020
This side venture of the sprawling, Jumilla-based Gil Family Wine Estates empire is a new (first vintage, 2016) partnership with their long-time general manager, Jordi Floss. It has quickly emerged as one of Campo de Borja’s best sources for high-quality, lush and expressive, even flamboyant wines, sourced from the bodega’s 20 hectares of bush-vine Garnacha, much of which is extremely old. Winemaking is overseen by Frank Gonzalez, who honed his skills under the legendary Chris Ringland, one of Australia’s most revered winemakers. The entry-level bottlings here deliver excellent value and are quite enjoyable when young for their assertive fruit and spice character and lush textures.

Bodegas Morca is found in Borja, the birthplace of Grenacha, iconic for its specific limestone soils that give the wines character. Situated on the Moncayo slopes you will find the 30-50 year old vines of Bodegas Morca. The cool winds from the north increase the wine's concentration whilst still preserving a freshness and lively acidity. Each parcel of grapes is hand harvested and vinified separately - allowing for the best blending opportunities.
