Quinta Das Bágeiras Pai Abel Tinto

Description

“Pai Abel” from Quinta das Bágeiras – a name that suggests a lineage demanding a bit of patience, wouldn’t you agree? Crafted under the watchful eye of Mário Sérgio Alves Nuno, this wine is a true tribute to the Bairrada region, born from vineyards dating back centuries – a level of dedication you only find with a third generation. The open lagar fermentation, guided by the wood, combined with ageing in used Burgundy barrels, delivers a remarkably rich texture and a concentrated nose brimming with dark fruits, with a subtle balsamic note that, frankly, needs a little time to fully blossom. It’s a wine that prefers to be coaxed – perfect alongside a quiet contemplation and a perfectly grilled steak.
