Filipa Pato Nossa Calcário Baga 2019
Bairrada, Northern Portugal, PortugalThis Baga is handpicked and hand selected from their centenary vineyards in Bairrada (3 to 4 bunches/vine). Partly destemmed, this was fermented in open oak lagares with some extraction (pigeage). After fermentation the wine is aged in 500/600L used pipas for 18 months. Tight and nimble, with tight balsamic acidity pinning cassis, black raspberry, cherry along a slender base. Strung with astringency, this tighter red welcomes food, and a slight chill.Tasted: 29 August 2022Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:ON | $49.00 | 750ml | consignment |
