Quinta Das Bágeiras Garrafeira Tinto

Description

The Quinta das Bágeiras Garrafeira is made from the Baga grape variety, sourced from very old vines—over 90 years old. It is produced only in exceptional years and showcases the authentic expression of the Bairrada region. It is a red wine with a solid structure, powerful tannins, great freshness, and complexity, revealing the ideal traits for bottle aging. The name Mário Sérgio Alves Nuno may not mean much to the most distracted, but he is nothing less than the great mentor behind the outstanding wines of Quinta das Bágeiras. The history of Quinta das Bágeiras traces back to the work of three generations, yet it was only in 1989, under Mário Sérgio’s direction, that the Quinta das Bágeiras wines were bottled and sold, quickly becoming a reference point for Bairrada wines and for Portugal as a whole. Although crafted following the methods of previous generations, the wines of Quinta das Bágeiras are not fleeting fads; they are always in vogue, revealing each harvest the character of the region and the people who produce them. *(illustrative image only)*
