When I ask Raúl Fernádez, owner of Bodegas La Margarita (Constantina, Sierra Norte de Sevilla), about this wine, he confirms that the idea was to make a wine in line with the first one, Pago del Zancúo, but this time using a different blend with the other varieties planted on the estate.

 

Borboleta wine: a tribute to history and nature

Borboleta wine is an Andalusian red wine made from three types of grapes: Tempranillo (90%), Cabernet Sauvignon (8%) and Petit Verdot (2%), which is aged for nine months in French and American oak barrels.

Origin and Production

Borboleta is one of the wines of Seville. The nose is striking, as it is made of 90% Tempranillo, although the aroma of black fruits from the Cabernet is also noticeable (8%).

Sensory Characteristics

It is worth highlighting the roundness of the Borboleta when we take this wine to our mouth. At first it is fresh, without reaching acidity, with fruity notes. When it seems that he is finishing tasting its flavour, notes of anise arrive that encourage him to take another glass.

History and Culture

He tells this while serving it: Raúl confesses to me that he wanted to give the wine a name in Portuguese in honour of Isabel of Portugal and her admiration for the wines of the Sierra Norte of Seville, tasted at her wedding celebrated in the Reales Alcazares of Seville with Charles V in the year 1526. Raúl was debating between Borboleta (Butterfly in Portuguese) for those that inhabit the area in spring and Árvore (Tree in Portuguese) as the environment is surrounded by oaks, chestnuts, elms, stone pines, holm oaks and cork oaks. You finally decide on Borboleta simply because it sounded better.
