Wines

Each wine faithfully expresses its own terroir, in one of three leading wine-growing regions - Vinho Verde, Dão and Douro.

 

 

Still Wines

 

Borges still wines are enriched with the unique and distinctive palate that only a history of 140 years can imbue. When you open a Borges wine, you are whisked away on a journey through three of Portugal’s most important demarcated regions, Vinho Verde, Dão and Douro, as you explore the original essence of each wine.

Port Wines

Borges produces Port Wines whose singular personalities are synonymous with distinction and sector leadership. These are nectars that reflect the dedication and passion of the peoples of Douro who work the land, the vine and the wine. A world of colour palettes, aromas and flavours radiating out from Quinta da Soalheira.

 

Sparkling Wines

 

Sociedade dos Vinhos Borges has extensive experience of making sparkling wines using the Classic Method. We took our first steps along this road in the early twentieth century and soon reached a highpoint with the launch of our classic Fita Azul in 1934. Later on, we added the super premium sparkling wines Borges Real Senhor and the iconic Gatão.

Brandy

Borges Brandies pair perfectly with a good coffee or can be drunk on their own as a digestif. We age our brandies in French oak casks and vats in our cellars, to imbue them with nobility and complexity.
