Pintas Vintage Port
This Vintage Port is made from a field blend of more than thirty indigenous grape varieties sourced
from the estate’s eighty-year-old Pintas vineyard. All grapes were carefully selected and foot-trodden in
lagares for five days until neutral brandy was added to stop the fermentation. The wine was then aged in
an old Port tonel for nineteen months before bottling. Featuring flavors of dark plum and mint chocolate,
this wine’s full and ripe tannins show the aging capacity of this young Port.

5G
This Tawny Port is the pinnacle of more than one hundred years of unwavering passion and patience. It
is a creation so sacred that Five Generations of the Serôdio Borges family have guarded it for a century’s
time. A celestial blend of vintage tawnys dating from 1870 to 1900, with a limited production of just 1,200
bottles released to the public, 5G retains the same magnetism that flows through the veins of its keepers.
Alluring notes of raw honey, roasted almond, and grilled fig intermingle with elegant viscosity and an
extraordinary freshness deepened only by its ample maturity.
