At the beginning of September, we launched into the market the new image of 2 classical trademarks of our winery: Adega Coop. Borba D.O.C. and Convento da Vila.

We developed specifically a new 75cl-bottle, taller and much more elegant.
The choice of the respective new image was made to give to the set “bottle-label-caps-case” a general visual much more attractive, modern and distinctive, but keeping the great character of these 2 trademarks.

After several months of dedication and investment, we have the great pleasure to announce that the Adega Cooperativa de Borba received the final concession for the quality and food safety certification according to the international norms NP EN ISO 9001:2000 e 22000:2005.

We underline that the Adega Coop. Borba is the first winery in Portugal to have the norm NP EN ISO 22000:2005.

So the Adega Coop. Borba received this concession with a supplementary responsibility, and is conscious that these certifications are a real dynamic but demanding work tool, but which is very important to consolidate a continuous improvement of our products and services to our customers. In this process, it was crucial the dedication and responsabilization of each employee as an element of a chain to guarantee a generalized quality and food safety of our products.
