Borba.

Borba sits in the heart of Alentejo, where white marble quarrying has shaped the town for generations. Quarries cut into the hills around the town supply blocks still used in buildings across Portugal. Borba is also known for its red wines, made from classic Alentejo grape varieties grown under a long, dry summer that gives them depth and weight. Some producers age their wines in cellars cut from old marble galleries, where thick stone walls hold a steady, cool temperature through the hottest months. Cork oak forests and vineyards spread across the surrounding plain, typical of the wider Alentejo landscape. Borba's identity rests on this pairing of stone and soil, visible in its buildings and tasted in its wines.
