Adega de Borba Red Wine 75cl

The wine Convento da Vila emerged as a tribute to Servas Convent, located in Borba, one of the most admirable monuments of the town’s historic zone. Friar Agostinho de Santa Maria tells us that according to a very ancient legend, the Virgin Mary appeared before a potter’s daughter and revealed that a treasure was to be found on the current site of the Convento da Vila. This fourteenth century church was under the care of a sisterhood of women called the Servas de Nossa Senhora, the same sisterhood that set up a convent in 1598, whose first stone was laid in 1604, under the patronage of the Duke of Bragança, D. Teodósio II. The first nuns took their vows in 1645, having come from Convento das Chagas de Vila Viçosa. Apparently, the architect responsible for the construction of this monument was paid for his work in wine.

Because of its freshness, Casal Garcia is particularly agreeable in friendly and relaxed atmospheres.

In the shadow of the days and in the light of the night, the Alentejo whitewashing tradition ("caiado") paints imagination and draws the path of every dream. With colours springing from the Earth, this wine brushes moments and must be drunk with the heart

Coming from the best varieties of the Tagus region, this wine presents itself in perfect balance of body and smoothness. Making it pleasant to the palate. Ideal to accompany all fish and seafood dishes.
