Quinta das Bágeiras 'Colheita' Tinto

Beautiful notes of wild berries, red cherry and sweet spices. On the palate well balanced tannins with long yet fresh finish.

Baga

This wine's grapes are picked from relatively young vines (over 15-years-old), however, most times, only on the third harvest of those vines, because the first harvest goes into the production of aguardente and the second one is meant for the production of sparkling rosé. They 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.

Serve 16 -18°C
