Deep ruby color. A strong bouquet that highlights plum and fig notes, in a well -integrated combination with some vanilla and coffee, resulting from wood aging. In the mouth there is a very tasty and sweet attack, with huge volume and soft tannins in a combination that has a long and persistent end of mouth.
Vinification:
Borges Quinta da Soalheira conveys the color, the light that makes the bunch that is intended to have a successful path. The color of the label enhances the fruit notes surrounded by mature tannins that give structure to a wine from the hot region of the Douro. The wine ages in French oak barrels for 9 to 12 months.
