Winemaker Notes
Brilliant cherry red color with a present viscosity. The nose is straight forward, almost purely fruit driven. It reminds small red stonefruit with a hint of black pepper. The taste is delicate and elegant, very juicy, attractive, and it has a lingering and teasing aftertaste.
A pure “vin de plaisir” will accompany very nicely grilled fish and seafood and simple quality meat dishes with fresh and crunchy
vegetables to accent the pureness of the wine. This Baga is also a good contender for creamy cheeses.
This dark-skinned, Portugese variety creates powerful red wines with great color, structure and finesse and is specially prominent in the Bairrada and Dão regions. Somm Secret—Because of its ample acidity and striking color, Baga also makes a great rosé; much of it from the Bairrada ends up in this style.
