Quinta da Terrugem, situated in the prestigious Borba sub-region of Alentejo, is renowned for its unique terroir characterized by clay soils mixed with the region's famous pink marble and schist. The 'T' represents the flagship expression of this historic estate, capturing the essence of Alentejo's winemaking heritage. Crafted using traditional foot-treading in marble lagares and aged extensively in French oak, this wine is a tribute to the region's bold, sun-drenched character. It weaves a story of ancient Roman agricultural roots in Borba, combined with modern Portuguese winemaking excellence, resulting in a deeply concentrated, structured red with rich dark fruit, spice, and elegant balsamic undertones.
