Marques De Borba Description
Intense garnet color. Great concentration of black fruit, eucalyptus leaves and some notes of spices from aging in the barrels. Full bodied, with velvet tannins.
An old-vine field blend of Alicante Bouschet, Aragonez, Castelão, and Syrah. The bunches are de-stemmed and pass by a sorting table for an optimum selection of the berries. The grapes are then crushed before going to the marble lagares, where they are foot trodden during 4 to 5 days, passing to stainless steel tanks to finish the alcoholic fermentation.
One of the most emblematic brands of João Portugal Ramos, Marquês de Borba combines the tradition of the Alentejo region with an excellent quality, present since the first vintage in 1997. The brand’s name comes from the happy coincidence of João Portugal Ramos’ vineyards and winery being located in Borba sub-region, and also of one of his uncles having the noble title Marquês de Borba, a title created in 1811.
