Borges Wines
Borges Wines
Founded in 1884, Sociedade dos Vinhos Borges has a long history of making and marketing great wines. Two enterprising brothers, António and Francisco Borges, who had remarkable business acumen and a deep passion for both the land and wine began the task of building their vision into the company that we know today.
Our passion for wine and our unceasing quest to create unique wines have been the main driving forces behind the writing of a story that already dates back more than 135 years. They are the same qualities that ensure that, today, Borges wines are so highly appreciated in over 60 markets across five continents.
Today Borges has three winemaking centres in each of these regions and we produce over 6 million bottles annually.
JMV Group
Since 1998, Borges has been part of this prestigious group, which is led by the Vieira family and wholly Portuguese owned. Our wines are part of an extensive portfolio that is sourced from three of Portugal’s main demarcated regions, where we have our own winemaking estates. Under one roof, we bring together the versatility and uniqueness of wines from the Douro, Dão and Vinho Verde regions, the nobility of Port wines and the elegance of sparkling wines.
In Felgueiras, in the heart of the Vinho Verde Demarcated Region, Borges has built one of the most modern production centres in Portugal, with a winemaking capacity of 2.5 million litres and a storage capacity of 9 million litres.
Thanks to these infrastructures, we are able to ensure a more efficient control of our high-quality standards.
BRC and ISO 9001 Certifications and Integrated Production System
At an early stage, the organization took the strategic decision to acquire the internationally recognized BRC and ISO 9001 certifications. Borges saw these as a way of spurring continuous improvement of our overall performance, whilst also keeping a tight focus on offering quality products and services to all our customers. These certificates underscore our commitment to quality, safety and food responsibility.
All Sociedade dos Vinhos Borges estates employ an integrated production system. This is a production system that is based on good agricultural practices, with rational management of natural resources. It favours the use of natural regulation mechanisms rather than production factors and, thus, contributes towards sustainable farming.
