Quinta das Bágeiras

Tannic, high-acid reds from Baga grown on clay-limestone. Traditional Garrafeiras can age for 30 years or more; modern producers make lighter, gentler versions for earlier drinking.

Bairrada is the centre of Portuguese traditional-method sparkling wine, made by second fermentation in bottle. Styles range from crisp whites to Baga-based blanc de noirs and rosé.
