AboutVinhos Borges
Vinhos Borges grew out of Borges & Irmão, the trading house founded in 1884 by brothers António Nunes Borges and Francisco António Borges. A dedicated wine company followed in 1918; it became part of the Portuguese, family-led JMV Group in 1998.
Today, four company-owned estates span Vinho Verde, the Douro and the Dão. Each region has its own winemaking centre.
Vinhos Borges 2018 Meia Encosta Dão
Portuguese Red
$21.99
Red and ripe fruit lead a generous but precise palate, supported by fine tannins rather than overt weight. Fresh acidity gives the wine lift and keeps the fruit defined through the middle, while a quiet savoury edge adds complexity. The finish is persistent, returning to red fruit with a clean, balanced shape. Pair with roast chicken, grilled pork, chorizo pasta or a simple beef stew.
