Porto Ruby

Borges NV Porto Ruby is produced in the Douro Valley, Portugal, a renowned region for Port wine production. The grapes are sourced from vineyards within this demarcated area, benefiting from its unique terroir and climate.

This Ruby Port is typically a blend of several traditional Portuguese grape varieties commonly used in Port production, such as:

• Touriga Nacional
• Touriga Franca
• Tinta Roriz (Tempranillo)
• Tinta Barroca
• Tinto Cão

The production of Borges NV Porto Ruby follows traditional Port wine methods:

• Harvesting of grapes by hand from Douro vineyards.
• Fermentation is interrupted early by the addition of grape spirit (aguardente), preserving natural sweetness and fruitiness.
• The wine is aged for a relatively short period in large oak vats to maintain its vibrant ruby color and fresh fruit character.
• Bottled as a non-vintage blend to ensure consistent style and quality year after year.

Borges NV Porto Ruby presents a deep ruby red color with intense aromas of ripe red fruits such as cherries, raspberries, and plums. On the palate, it is full-bodied, smooth, and well-balanced with a rich sweetness and a lingering finish marked by subtle spice and chocolate notes.

This Ruby Port pairs excellently with a variety of foods, enhancing both sweet and savory dishes:

• Dark chocolate desserts and berry tarts
• Blue cheeses such as Stilton or Roquefort
• Roasted nuts and dried fruits
• Grilled red meats and game dishes
• Rich stews and hearty casseroles
