The base wine needs freshness
Second fermentation and ageing add texture and complexity, but they cannot replace tension in the base wine. Grape selection and harvest timing are therefore decisive.
At Borlido, Bical, Arinto and Maria Gomes form the Blanc de Blancs. Baga supports the Baga Bairrada family, vinified as white or rosé.
Time is not an abstract claim
During lees ageing, the wine gains integration, a finer bead and aromas that may recall bread, brioche, nuts and pastry.
Each Borlido wine has a defined minimum ageing period and an additional rest after disgorgement.
