1720 PATHER
From Borges records, bottled in 1989, believed to be Terrantez. These very rare bottles came from the private cellars of the Borges family having never left the Madeira cellars. A unique occasion to purchase a true piece of wine history.
Borges Terrantez "Pather" 1720
Christie's slip label; "The name of this wine "Pather" originates from the word "Father" in English (Pai in Portuguese). Henrique Menezes Borges, who bought the wine in 1915, stated that the wine, which he described and being one of the oldest in Madeira, should be exclusively inherited by the family and never sold. For this reason only a few bottles are available for sale"
