Alforge, the new wine brand from Alentejo.

Comprised of two Alentejo Regional wines, Alforge is the new brand presented by Adega de Borba. The new range is represented in bottle format (white and red: 0.75L), bag-in-box 5L (white and red), and 10L, available soon. The chosen name for this new wine brand from Adega de Borba is a tribute to the habits, customs, and traditions that characterize Alentejo culture, an identifying factor of its people that manages to endure over time through generations, an inheritance of cultural assets. Alforge is thus a type of bag with two pouches, made of more resistant fabric, widely used in rural areas in the past to carry goods on one’s shoulder or on pack animals. The image of Alforge is presented with strong colors and is comprised of two young, fresh, fruity wines with a certain complexity, making them wines geared towards a younger consumer who values more contemporary wine profiles. Under the technical direction of Adega de Borba’s winemaker, Óscar Gato, Alforge Branco 2022 was produced from grapes of the Roupeiro, Arinto, and Fernão Pires varieties. It presents a good aromatic intensity of tropical fruits, with freshness. Ideal for accompanying fish and seafood dishes. As for Alforge Tinto 2021, it was produced from the Aragonez, Castelão, and Touriga Franca varieties. It presents good aromatic intensity of ripe red fruits and has a soft flavor, with the fruity notes persisting. Ideal for accompanying roasted or grilled meats.
