Adega de Borba Reserva Magnum Red
With grapes from the most typical Alentejo grape varieties produced in the sub-region of Borba, the label Cortiça wine was produced, a true ex-libris from the Adega de Borba. Coming from old vines, the grapes had a strict control in the evolution of the maturation, having been harvested in small quantities. In the Cellar, after the destemming and soft crushing of the grape, the alcoholic fermentation began, which lasted for about 10-15 days with the temperature controlled at 24ºC, for greater extraction of the aromas and fruity flavors of the grape. In order to increase the polyphenolic complexity, the tannins and the structure of the wine, it remained in the vat in a post-fermentative maceration process. The malolactic fermentation occurred later in stainless steel containers. To enhance and elevate its organoleptic characteristics, the wine aged 12 months in 3rd and 4th year barrels, French oak and exotic wood barrels. followed by a six-month bottling stage in the basement. Aroma fine and elegant, suggesting black fruits, compote and white chocolate.

Mouchão Red
It is the reference wine of the estate, since the first harvest was bottled in 1949, and reflects the unique temperament of the winery. Mouchão wine is born mainly from the best grapes of Alicante Bouschet, while the rest is found in the selection of other varieties such as Habitué Trincadeira, the famous Vinha dos Carapetos, and Aragonês, which is also sometimes invited. This happy combination results in a wine full of personality, with fragrant aroma, fresh and very elegant. It is a wine whose flavor expresses its slow maturation and which strongly reflects its origin and respect for tradition. After harvesting by hand, the grapes follow in small baskets to the cellar, where, after an experienced walk on stone wineries and fermentation, the Mouchão rests in barrels of Portuguese oak, macacaúba and mahogany for at least three years. It grows in all its intensity, character and robustness, but will still have to mature in bottle for another two years. Mouchão wine has a deep, concentrated color, and has a spicy character. Its unique tannin structure enhances a long bottle aging, which can improve significantly on guard for two decades, or even longer. Contains Sulfites.
