The Baga grape. A challenge for Portuguese winemakers. It has a lot of tannin and spicy acidity. The trick is to soften the punishing Baga. Quinta de Foz de Arouce did this by first mixing it with juice from the Touriga Nacional and then letting the wine mature for a long time in small oak barrels.| Color: | Red | Taste profile: | Full bodied | Country: | Portugal |

The story of the Portuguese wine district of Bairrada mainly revolves around the indigenous blue Baga grape. Traditionally, wine from the Baga grape has a lot of tannin, a lot of acid and little color. That doesn't sound like a wine fairy tale. But this is offset by decades of maturing potential. And in good years a remarkable, spicy wine. The Baga is capable of top performance. Nowadays winemakers succeed in drinking their Baga wine at a young age.
