Marquês de Borba Tinto is a characterful red wine from the acclaimed Alentejo region in southern Portugal. It is produced by João Portugal Ramos, one of the country’s most respected winemakers, renowned for crafting elegant wines that express the regional terroir.
The wine is made primarily from native Portuguese grape varieties such as Aragonês, Trincadeira, Castelão, and Alicante Bouschet, grown on gently rolling hills with clay-limestone soils near the town of Borba. The region’s warm and dry climate helps produce ripe, structured, and fruit-forward wines.
On the nose, Marquês de Borba offers intense aromas of red berries, plum, and subtle spicy and toasty oak notes. On the palate, it is smooth and round, with ripe tannins, balanced acidity, and a harmonious finish. A short aging period in French and American oak barrels adds depth without overpowering the fresh fruit character.
A versatile red wine, ideal to pair with grilled meats, pasta, mature cheeses, or to enjoy on its own as a reliable everyday wine.
