Check out our three wines from Beiras

Bairrada is a region on the rise. You see more and more innovative winemakers in Bairrada who are happy to work with the region's indigenous grapes, of which the blue Baga is the most important. An example of such a young winemaker is Filipa Pato, who follows in the footsteps of Luis Pato, one of Portugal's most renowned winemakers, with modern wines.

Dão is best known for its beautiful dry red wines. These can often be stored for decades without losing their complexity. But the cheap wines from Dão are also often remarkably good. They are made in a smooth, soft style. The toppers from Dão are more concentrated, with a dense structure, and tannins that are softened by wood aging.

The lesser known DOCs in Beiras are Beira Interior and Távora-Varosa. They were officially recognized just over ten years ago. (Good) sparkling wines are made, which the Portuguese usually finish before the foreign importer's truck has arrived. We currently have three wines from Beiras in our range.
