Bairrada is considered the most important sparkling wine region in Portugal, where the finest wines are fermented in the bottle using traditional methods, mainly from indigenous grape varieties, and aged underground on the lees for 6 months. The result is harmonious, creamy wines with lots of citrus aromas, which have a fine perlage and are ideal accompaniments to food, harmonious and balanced with a zesty acidity.
Portugal's Bairrada wine region lies south of Porto, surrounded by the coast and hills near the venerable university city of Coimbra. The wild landscape, characterized by pine and eucalyptus trees, is only 30 km from the Atlantic Ocean, which is why it produces such delicate white and rosé wines.
But the red wines also show extraordinary elegance. "Bairrada" is derived from "barro", which is the term for "loam" or "clay" and stands for the soil structure of the region. Here, 70% of the vines are of the autochthonous Baga variety. This difficult variety is characterized by intense cherry aromas, cedar and tobacco notes and its ageing potential.
Grape varieties in proportion: 80% Maria Gomes, 20% Bical
