Marques De Borba Description
Aromas of citrus zest, ripe pear, and green apple, layered with delicate floral notes of orange blossom and acacia. Subtle hints of tropical fruit, like pineapple and melon, along with a light minerality, add depth and complexity to the nose.
Medium-bodied on the palate with a smooth texture, featuring flavors of lemon, peach, and white melon. The wine’s crisp acidity balances the fruitiness, while the mineral backbone adds structure. A touch of creaminess on the palate, likely from aging on lees, provides depth and a round mouthfeel without overpowering the freshness.
Produced by the renowned J. Portugal Ramos, this wine captures the essence of Alentejo’s warm climate and showcases the depth and complexity that old vines bring to the wine. Known for its aromatic intensity and balanced acidity, Marquês de Borba Branco Vinhas Velhas is a versatile and expressive wine that reflects both tradition and quality.

This blend of Roupeiro, Arinto and Antão Vaz was aged for eight months in wood. With a spicy aroma, the wine reveals its toast right up front. The apple and lemon flavors and the ripe acidity balance with the toast. Drink now. -R.V.
