Borges

Founded in 1877 by Henriques Menezes Borges the company H.M. Borges is one of the great names of Madeira. Today, the company is run by the fourth generation, Helena and Isabel Borges, and is still located in the centre of Funchal. All the wines are made and stored here, and the company holds significant stocks in barrel stored on three levels in the cellars. The wines of ten years old and above are made with the noble varieties, but the Colheita 2005 is the first single harvest wine from the Tinta Negra grape – bottled in 2017. This year’s new wines are the 2005 Colheita Boal bottled in 2018 and the 1993 Vintage Verdelho bottled in December 2017.

Traditional values associated with the great wines of Madeira are balanced with modern understanding of wine making and maturation. These are unique wines from an independent family business.
