A product of the limestone terroir of Bairrada, this wine uniquely expresses the characteristics of the soil from which it comes. Derived from the indigenous baga variety and centenary vines planted in poor and stony soils, where the raw material is scarce but extremely precious, it is produced with total commitment to nature. In the end, we get a wine without masks, authentic, structured, elegant and complex, full of individuality and character.
Vinification
The grapes were destemmed and fermented in lagares. FML and 20-month aging were carried out in French oak barrels. The wine has naturally stabilized during prolonged barrel aging until the bottling date
Tasting Notes
Delicate and well-defined aromas of ripe red and blue fruits, accompanied by floral notes. Cedar, vanilla, chocolate, licorice, and forest leaf add aromatic complexity. On the palate, it proves to be an elegant wine, full of minerality and freshness, reflecting the limestone soils from which it comes. It is simultaneously a deep, structured and complex wine, with a long and persistent finish.
