Borges Vintage is a rewarding wine to those who work in the vineyards. It is produced only in years when the grapes are of extraordinary quality, resulting in a body, strong, distinct and intense wine, aged for a maximum of two years in small oak vats. The aromas are young and fresh, with notes of eucalyptus, menthol, and black and ripe plum. On the palate, it is balanced between sweetness and acidity, making it soft in the mouth. It is best served at 16-18ºC, and pairs well with full-bodied cheeses, chocolate desserts, and red fruit desserts. It also goes well with a strong cigar. Reviews and awards include 18 points in Grandes Escolhas Wine and 17.5 points in Wine Magazine.

Winemaking

Producing a Vintage Port is the best reward for those who work in the vineyard day after day. When the grapes are of extraordinary quality, the resulting wine is strong, distinct and intense. This is true for the Borges Vintage Port, which is rested in small oak vats for a maximum of two years before being bottled.

Grape Varieties

The Borges Vintage Port is made using two traditional Portuguese varietals, Touriga Nacional and Touriga Franca, as well as Sousão grapes.

Tasting Notes

The Borges Vintage Port has an intense and dark ruby colour and firm tannins. On the nose, there are notes of eucalyptus and menthol, as well as hints of black and ripe plums. The palate is balanced between sweetness and acidity, making it soft to drink.

Store and Serving Advices

It is recommended to serve the Borges Vintage Port at a temperature of 16 to 18ºC.

Food Pairing

This vintage can be enjoyed by itself, but it also pairs well with full cheeses, chocolate, or red fruit desserts. A strong cigar is an ideal accompaniment.
