From vineyard to bottle

The origin, grapes and craftsmanship behind this wine.

Portugal is best known for its fortified wines: Port. However, Portuguese wines are an undiscovered gem in the European wine landscape. They have always played a minor role in European wine. This changed when Portugal joined the European Union and claimed the associated agricultural subsidies. Portugal had to work hard, and there was only one way to do that: create pure quality. This has resulted in Portugal today being known for its exceptionally high-quality wines at a reasonable price.

One of those wines is Borges Quinta da Soalheira Branco Douro, perhaps the flagship of the Borges winery. This winery dates back to 1884 and thus has a long history. Borges explicitly uses local grape varieties. Unknown grape varieties like Gouveio, Voisinho, and Arinto grace the label of this Borges Quinta da Soalheira Branco Douro. Only the unknown breeds are unloved. When you put a glass of Borges Quinta da Soalheira Branco Douro to your lips, you're taken aback. It tastes familiar and comfortable; a blind taster would never be able to pick out the Portuguese heroes. This Borges wine is definitely worth it.

At Borges, they leave nothing to chance. They've learned that skill in the winery's 140 years of existence. They love tradition, but with a modern twist. That's why Borges wines, including this Borges Quinta da Soalheira Branco Douro, will never disappoint. This white wine is the kind of glass that embodies the hot, dry Portuguese summers. Pour it on a sunny day, and the water droplets will slowly drip down your glass. A bold aroma of citrus and fresh pear will immediately captivate you. Refreshing yet with a refined acidity. The subtle pepper on the back of the tongue ensures that this Borges Quinta da Soalheira Branco Douro will win you over.
