Grape: Baga
Country: Portugal
Region: Bairrada
Farming: Organic

A tribute to the great Bairrada wines of the past, which were light in colour and low in alcohol but offered a tremendous ageing potential. Made using grapes from various very old vineyard parcels. It was fermented in open lagares and in closed tanks where it went through carbonic maceration and where it remained for 4 weeks, before completing its fermentation in wooden vats. Then 2500L wooden vats, where it also aged for 20 months. It was bottled unfiltered. Generous, fruity and overall expressively aromatic. After some time in the glass, it shows a lot of class, with incredibly fine and delicate aromas. The wine impresses with its saline and maritime notes which are so typical of its calcareous terroir. On the palate, it offers a lot of precision, with great structure and grip. It is linear, distinctly mineral and refreshing, with notes of fresh fruit. - Abbreviated notes from the producer.
