Borges Winery has been active in Portuguese winemaking for almost 140 years. Vinhos Borges proves once again that Portuguese winemaking is much more than just the fortified Port. The winery was founded in 1884 by brothers Antonio and Francisco. They are located in the heart of Portugal, in the Dao region. While everyone immediately thinks of the Douro when they think of Portuguese wines, Dao is much tamer than the rugged Douro. This results in refined and smooth wines that are a favorite among many. The success of Vinhos Borges is evident from this. It's no wonder they export their Portuguese wines to over 50 countries worldwide.
The vineyards for this Borges Quinta de Simaens Vinho Verde are located in the Vinho Verde region of the same name. It's perhaps the most famous white wine from Portugal, with an impeccable reputation. However, the wines are often perceived as too light. Borges quickly dispelled this prejudice and decided to create this Borges Quinta de Simaens Vinho Verde. An impressive masterpiece with plenty of body and complexity. The Pederna and Avesso grape varieties complement each other beautifully, providing fresh citrus, tropical melon, and ample minerality. A pure white wine that ticks all the boxes for the perfect wine.
