Borges Vintage Port 2020

A Wine for Excellent Prolonged Aging

The Borges Vintage Port 2020 is a perfect example of a quality wine that is made for enjoying over a long period of time. This Vintage wine has been carefully crafted by a careful selection of superior quality grapes obtained from the best plots. Once the grapes are transported to the cellar, they are immediately crushed without destemming. The fermentation process takes place for three to four days in foot-treading presses, allowing for greater extraction of colour and aromas. The skins are then separated and, after the addition of wine brandy at 77%, the wine has 19.5% alcohol and 100 to 120 g/l of reducing sugars.

Grape Varieties

The main grape varieties used in the Borges Vintage Port 2020 are Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, and Sousão.
