Series | Baga | Red | 2020 | Douro

Intro:  The Series wines represent our passion for innovation and experimentation in the search for new and interesting wines. This effort reflects the backstage work developed by our winemaking and viticulture team, through a selection of more than 30 different indiginous grape varietals (some close to extinction) plnated at our estates in the last 20 years. Thus, the grand objective is to search for a new style of Douro wine through the most distinct varieties and test it amongst our consumers.

Tasting Notes: 

A Baga of deep garnet color, showcasing its typicity along with the region's characteristics. On the nose, it reveals all its varietal character with typical notes of ripe fruit such as licorice and cherry, which blend with its earthy and vegetal side. On the palate, it is medium-bodied and fresh, with a very attractive vegetal character and flavors that are hinted at on the nose. Its tannin contributes to the structure, being fresh yet juicy. It finishes long and persistent, with a very lively acidity, as is typical of this noble grape variety.
