In the glass
Aroma: concentrated red fruit, quality oak, stone
Palate: red fruit game, toasted finish, fine-grained tannin
A half Baga, half Touriga Nacional pairing across two vineyards: vigorous and stony, with fine tannins and a long stony close.
What it pairs with
-
Leitão à Bairrada
Baga is Bairrada's grape and the suckling pig's crackling is its traditional foil; the tannin cuts the fat. -
Chanfana
Slow-braised goat in red wine matches the wine's game register and the toasted finish. -
Grilled entrecôte with sea salt
Simple charred beef lets the fine tannin and stony freshness do the work.
