Baga
Baga is Bairrada's indigenous red grape and one of Portugal's most distinctive and age-worthy varieties. Naturally high in acidity and tannins, Baga produces wines of real structure, dark cherry fruit, earthy depth and a firm backbone that can seem austere in youth but develops extraordinary complexity with time in the cellar. In the hands of the finest Bairrada producers, Baga delivers wines that rival the great structured reds of Europe for ageing potential and sheer character. A grape for patient wine lovers who appreciate something genuinely different.
