Bairrada, Northern Portugal, PortugalFrom the stunning architecture of Quinta do Encontro (Google it) and the pristine, cool environment of Bairrada. In the western part of the Beiras, between the mountainous Dão and the Atlantic beaches, Bairrada has a maritime climate. This traditional method fizz is a blend of bical, maria gomes and arinto, with one year on the lees. Herbal lemon, white grapefruit, white fig, almond biscotti, lees bed and - characteristically - bitter herbs, this lighter bodied wine vibrates with acidity on the chalky finish.Tasted: 05 July 2017Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:BC | $21.00 | 750ml | estimated retail |
