Quinta Das Bágeiras Garrafeira Tinto

Description

This Garrafeira from Quinta das Bágeiras is clearly a labour of love, shaped by the watchful eye of Mário Sérgio Alves Nuno and three generations of tradition. The Baga, sourced from vines over 90 years old, delivers completely, without compromise. Open-lagar fermentation with délestage ensures remarkable expressiveness, resulting in a dense, almost intimidating wine with notes of dark chocolate and wild berries, beautifully complemented by a mineral finish and hints of dried herbs. It demands respect – firm tannins and a patina hinting at long ageing – but rewards the discerning palate with a remarkable sense of unity and an incredibly assertive finish. A true testament to Quinta das Bágeiras’ philosophy: crafting wines that age gracefully alongside the soul of Bairrada.
