Quinta das Bágeiras Tinto Reserva 2021

Some of its Baga grapes come from old vines, but in the years we don&t have red garrafeira and have red reserva, all the old vines& grapes are used for this wine. Those grapes are fermented for 5 to 8 days in a lagar without destemming (the berries are not removed from the cluster). Subsequently, they are pumped down with a wooden punch down tool, several times a day, until they reach the right intensity. Afterwards, the wine finishes its fermentation in old wooden tonels. While it rests, it is decanted and aged in the same tonels for about 18 months. It is bottled without fining or filtration. All these processes are done by hand.

"Baga (60 %) and Touriga Nacional (40 %) come together very harmoniously, in a wine that breathes character and elegance, with wild berries, spices, fresh herbs. Juicy, expressive, long, full of life. 17/20"
