Winemaker Notes
Brilliant cherry red color with a present viscosity. The nose is straight forward and pure.

James Suckling
Savory and chalky, with aromas of macerated cherries, raspberries, dried cranberries, dried herbs and red flowers. A gush of tart red fruit at first with chalkiness on the palate, refreshing lift and tension. The tannins sneak in at the end and finish fine and integrated. Medium body. Fermented in amphora. From biodynamically grown grapes with Demeter certification.
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.
