Quinta Das Bágeiras Garrafeira Tinto

Description

Quinta das Bágeiras Garrafeira is made from the Baga grape variety, with the fruit harvested from very old vines—over 90 years old. It is produced only in exceptional years, capturing the authentic expression of the Bairrada region. The wine is a robust red with solid structure, powerful tannins, vibrant freshness, and complex character, making it ideal for bottle ageing. The name Mário Sérgio Alves Nuno may not immediately ring a bell for the casual observer, but he is the key mentor behind Quinta das Bágeiras’ celebrated wines. The estate’s story spans three generations, yet it was only in 1989, under Mário Sérgio’s leadership, that Quinta das Bágeiras began bottling and selling its wines, quickly establishing itself as a benchmark for Bairrada and Portuguese wines alike. Although produced following traditional methods from previous generations, Quinta das Bágeiras wines are never just a trend; they are always in style, revealing in each harvest the true character of the region and the people who create them.
