The wine region of Borba
Portuguese DOC of Alto Alentejo at the heart of the "marble zone" (limestone plateau at an average 416 m, unique substrate of vast marble deposits and red schist, a microclimate that is rainier and less sunny than its surroundings, producing fresh and elegant wines): Aragonez (Tempranillo), Trincadeira, Syrah and Alicante Bouschet are the signature reds — ripe berry profiles balanced by the freshness of the marble. Touriga Nacional as complement, Arinto and Roupeiro for lively whites.
The wine region of Alentejano
Star of southern Portugal's great reds, sunny and opulent wines. Typical blends: round fruity Aragonez (Tempranillo), spicy Trincadeira, Touriga Nacional (black fruits, violet), deep teinturier Alicante Bouschet, juicy Castelão. Fleshy reds with notes of plum, black cherry, cocoa and sweet spices, melted tannins. Ample fresh Antão Vaz and Arinto whites.
The word of the wine: Malolactic fermentation
Called second fermentation or malo for short. It is the degradation (under the effect of bacteria) of the malic acid naturally present in the wine into milder, less aggressive lactic acid. Some producers or wineries refuse this operation by "blocking the malo" (by cold and adding SO2) to keep a maximum of acidity which carries the aromas and accentuates the sensation of freshness.
