Margarida Serodio Borges is producing some exceptional red wines from these two Quintas that she and her brother, Jorge Borges, inherited from their Grandfather in the early ‘90’s. Fojo wines reflect the new wave of winemaking that is sweeping through the Douro and grabbing the attention of serious wine drinkers. They inherited old, low yielding vines and rely on traditional foot treading and fermentation in old concrete lagares to produce saturated, complex wines. The results are outstanding and the wines demand cellaring before drinking. Margarida also produces a second label, Vinha do Fojo, which tends to be more approachable earlier on.
