Origin

Adega de Borba is located in the Alentejo region of Portugal, an area renowned for its rich terroir and Mediterranean climate, ideal for producing robust red wines.

Variety

The Reserva Tinto is typically crafted from a blend of traditional Portuguese grape varieties native to the Alentejo region, which may include Aragonez (Tempranillo), Trincadeira, and Alicante Bouschet.

Production

The wine undergoes controlled fermentation followed by aging in oak barrels, which contributes to its complexity and structure. The cork label indicates traditional bottling methods with natural cork closure to preserve the wine's quality and aging potential.
