Baga
RedCool to moderate climate
Bairrada's signature grape, producing some of Portugal's most age-worthy reds. Thick-skinned with naturally high acidity and tannin, Baga needs the clay soils and maritime climate of Bairrada to reach its potential. Modern winemaking has tamed its rustic edge, revealing a grape of real complexity.
Top Garrafeira wines age 15-30+ years. Even standard wines benefit from 5-10 years of bottle age.
