Nowadays, and as it was then, Montes Claros is a land of vineyards. A brand with over 80 years of history since its appearance, that has drawn attention to the quality and potential of Borba wines. Wines that hold fast to tradition but are vibrant, differentiated and have an excellent quality/price relationship.
Adega de Borba Reserva, also known as “Cork Label”, has been one of the most emblematic wines of the Alentejo Region and Portugal since 1964. Its singularity arises from its superior quality, its classic profile and natural cork label. It should be noted that the Alentejo is the largest cork producer of the world, with thousands of hectares of cork oak forest. The quality of this notable wine has been distinguished over the past 50 years by the many national and international awards conquered.

Behind Adega Cartuxa [Cartuxa Winery] is a great family, the Eugénio de Almeida family. Let’s go back to 1913, the year Vasco Maria was born into one of the most influential families of the 19th century. Born in Lisbon, he soon established links with Évora and Alentejo, where the family had an extensive heritage. Vasco Maria always considered people to be the most valuable variable on the basis of which he organised all his efforts. These included revitalising winemaking and planting a vast area of olive groves just a few kilometres from Évora, which resulted in the wines and olive oils produced to this day.
This wine associates its quality to the name of the Carthusian [Cartuxos] monks who, between 1598 and 2019, led a solitary life of prayer in the Monastery of Santa Maria Scala Coeli. It is based on the most common varieties of Alentejo: Trincadeira, Aragonez, Alfrocheiro, Periquita, Moreto and Tinta Caiada. Aged in oak wood, it is a wine with good structure, elegant and combining the aromas of the varieties used with a persistent and complex flavour.
