BORGES H.M.
H . M. Borges, Sucrs. Lda. is an independent company founded by Henrique Menezes Borges in 1877. It is one of the oldest Madeira wine production and export companies. Henrique Menezes Borges, a business trader, has devoted his life to purchase a selection of the best wines produced on Madeira Island, for aging and stocking purposes.
Nowadays, management of H. M. Borges is in hands of the family's fourth generation. Not only has Madeira wine stock increased, but its selection also enriched. The Madeira Wine results from a work of patience and dedication. To reach a certain quality level of the product, excellent and high-quality lots are needed. These are to priorities for the wines produced by H. M. Borges.
H.M. Borges, Sucrs has had a reputation for high-quality wines for over two hundred years. The company is famous for its vintage wines, the so-called Frasquiera Vinhos, which are aged at least 20 years. They produce all four types of Madeiran wine: Malvasia, Bual, Verdelho and Sercial. The main cultivation areas of the winery are Câmara de Lobos on the south coast, as well as São Vincent and Santana, both of which are on the north coast. The wines of Borges are made from the grape varieties Sercial, Verdelho, Boal, Malvasia, Huea Negra and also the very rare Terrantez. The vines are traditionally lifted horizontally on tensioning wires.
