2021 Bairrada Reserva, Aliança, Bairrada

£9.75 inc. VAT

A fruity and characterful blend of Portuguese indigenous varieties, predomainantly Baga, which is a classic grape of the Bairrada region.

The blend is 70% Baga, 20% Tinta Roriz (Tempranillo) and 10% Touriga Nacional. The grapes are vinified without being totally destemmed and fermented for around 6 days in stainless steel. The careful selection and blending of varieties ensures an approachable but complex style and the relatively short time on skins in fermentation creates gentle tannins leading to this wonderfully drinkable profile.

Attractive mixed berry aromas with spice notes. Vibrant plum and black cherry on the palate with liquorice hints, elegant tannins, and finely poised acidity. A medium-bodied, vibrant and wonderfully drinkable glass of red.
