What The Fellas Say

If a velvet smoking jacket and a pair of well-worn hiking boots ever fell in love, this would be their offspring. Ataide Semedo’s Baga/Touriga Nacional is a brooding, deep-voiced crooner—think late-night jazz in a candlelit cellar, with a sly wink from the winemaker. The Baga brings its signature wild-berry tang and a hint of forest floor, while Touriga Nacional struts in with violets, black cherries, and a dash of spice. The result? A wine that’s equal parts poetry and punchline: earthy, elegant, and just a little bit mischievous. Decant, pour, and let the conversation wander.

What The Sommelier Says

On the nose it presents red fruit, cassis and a slight smokiness. On the palate it is straightforward, structured and harmonious with elegant tannins and a persistent finish.

Pairs well with…

…char-grilled octopus, roast pork with herbs, duck breast with cherry sauce, mushroom risotto or an aged Queijo da Serra or São Jorge.

About The Winemakers

Region: Bairrada

Bairrada produces wines with high acidity and tannins, often aged in oak barrels to soften the tannins and develop complex flavors. The region’s soil is predominantly clay and limestone, which helps to retain moisture and gives the wines a distinct minerality.
