Balanced taste, young and excellent freshness, with a fruity persistence. This wine is made from selected grapes of the Aragonez, Castelão and Trincadeira varieties, planted in the extensive limestone-clay and schist plains in Borba. After arriving at the winery, the grapes were destemmed and crushed, after which a special maceration of 12 hours was carried out. The fermentation process took place in stainless steel vats at a controlled temperature of 15ºC. After the period in which the wine stabilizes through physical processes in stainless steel barrels, the wine is filtered and then bottled. Bright pink with red shimmer. Intense aroma of forest fruits. Well-balanced taste, young and excellent freshness, with a fruity persistence. Founded in 1955, Adega de Borba's roots go back to an even more distant past, when Portugal was not yet considered a kingdom. Vineyards have been present in the Alentejo for more than 3,000 years. From the 18th century, wine production flourished in Borba, contributing to strong economic and social growth in the region. Since then, several events have marked the wine sector: some positive, such as the implementation of more modern production techniques, and others negative, namely the devastation caused by the Restoration War and Napoleonic invasions. Regardless of these fluctuations, the importance of the vine in Borba has never faded and it has always been the most important agricultural crop in the region. Already at that time there was a pulverized production in small traditional cellars, with carvings, which were part of numerous houses spread throughout the cities and towns. This was the reality when on April 24, 1955, a group of producers dissatisfied with the conditions applied to the market controlled by "middlemen" in terms of prices and margins, aware of the need to gain scale and critical mass in order to investing in new technologies and strong commercial brands, decided to unite to create Adega Cooperativa de Borba.
