The Quinta Soalheira Red Wine is a vinicultural gem that pays tribute to the rich traditions of the Douro region. Originating from the first Quinta acquired by the Borges brothers in 1904, this wine is a living testament to the historical heritage and the passion for winemaking that characterizes the Borges family. The unique composition of this wine includes indigenous varieties such as Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Tinta Roriz, Tinta Barroca, Tinto Cão, and Sousão, reflecting the diversity and authenticity of the region. Each grape variety contributes distinctive characteristics, creating a balanced and complex blend that captures the very essence of the Douro. The vinification process includes a brief pre-fermentative maceration and a controlled fermentation, followed by malolactic fermentation, culminating in 9-12 months of aging in French oak barrels. This care in the production process ensures that each bottle is a testament to freshness and complexity.
