Description
Quintas de Borba Red
The Quintas de Borba Red is a distinguished example from the Borba sub-region in Alentejo, sourced from vineyards certified in integrated production. The terroir is characterized by clay-limestone and schist soils, where grapes are hand-harvested to ensure maximum quality. This wine reflects the region’s sustainability philosophy and winemaking tradition.
The production involves fermentation in stainless steel lagares with mechanical treading, followed by a 10-day maceration. The wine ages for 6 months in new French and American oak barrels, completing its cycle with another 6 months of resting in a climate-controlled cellar before reaching the market.
