About this Winery
After 3 decades of resistance, in which only the great value of the regional grape varieties and the excellence of the natural conditions allowed the wine production in the Alentejo to be maintained, we finally reached the eighties, where all the potential of the region for wine production can be evaluated and confirmed by the Consumer. The region benefited from the fact that production was associated with large wineries, and in this way it was more rapidly equipped in technological terms than other regions in the country, making the leap to quality bottled wines, at a time when the consumer became more demanding and preferred quality over quantity. It is true that the constitution of the demarcated region of Alentejo and the constitution of technical associative structures that quickly spread new technologies to the winemaker were essential in the whole process.
The euphoria that the wines of the Alentejo have been experiencing in recent years is the result of long work both in the vineyard, with the selection of the best grape varieties and the best soils for their production, and in the winery, with the improvement of techniques and equipment, often without great visibility, at a time when the pulse of the region was more in other directions than wine production.
Today, Adega de Borba gathers 300 associate winegrowers who cultivate about 2,000 hectares of vineyards, distributed among about 70% of red grape varieties and 30% of white grape varieties.
Always in search of strengthening the quality of its products, the Adega de Borba has an ambitious project of approaching the winemaker to the winery, instilling in it the passion to make great wines. After the selection and maintenance of the best grape varieties, and the technological equipment, Adega Borba is convinced that only with the full involvement of the winemaker in the production of wine, it is possible to further improve its products, and thus realize all the potential that the region has for the production of exceptional wines.

Great taste
This wine is absolutely delicious, beautifully balanced, with a full flavour and a joy to drink. I thoroughly recommend it and the company.
I have been drinking this wine since around 1974, on a business trip to Matosinhos. Medium dry and fruity, with a very pleasant nose. Superbly drinkable, as an aperitif or to accompany fish/shellfish. My first experience was with locally caught clams. None of the harsh dryness of some of the dryer white wines.
A delighfull fragrant. white, ideal for a warm spring evening. Delivery was swift (next day), bottle arrived encased in a well protected package. Well done!
I just happened to buy this wine and tried it to see how it was good. All I can say is that it presents a lovely translucent ruby color, characteristic of the grape, with a delicate, almost ethereal shimmer in the glass. It’s brighter at the rim, hinting at its lighter body and aromatic nature and of course, it taste delicious.
Light, crisp, and just a little fizzy. Perfect for summer barbecues or with seafood. Easy to drink and always a crowd-pleaser!
Lovely smooth red with notes of plum and a hint of spice. Tastes way more expensive than it is! Perfect with grilled meats or cheese. Fast deliver as well.
I've had some great red wines from the Alentejo region in the past, but this white has opened my eyes to some really great white wines from this beautiful part of Portugal.
This is my go to Vinho Verde. It's light and refreshing and is a really pleasant wine to drink. Portuguese Vinho Verdes are unique among white wines I've tried in having that lovely crisp, dry quality that I so love.
A very enjoyable wine, delivered quickly and efficiently.
Very good
Wine was great and the shipping was super fast! Highly recommended
I lectured in Portugal during the ‘70’s, ‘80’s and ‘90’s.
‘ The Vinho verdhe from Moncao was an absolute favourite which I enjoyed greatly in the Fado houses of Alfama . The Muralhas is not only a nostalgic reminder of good friends but a reminder of the guality and extreme drinkability of one of the great historic wines of Portugal.
A safe and quick delivery. The wine is delicious, perfect as a light drink at lunch or with cheese or fish. Really enjoyed it! Will buy more.
Very impressed with the quality of my order, both the content inside the bottles and the delivery. Will be ordering again for sure.
